Today I took Indigo Dyeing at The Fiber Studio with Virginia Parent. What a great class!

Indigo dyeing is fascinating. The dye vat is a yellowish-green and so are the fibers…until you introduce oxygen. As soon as you pull your wool out of the bath and the fibers hit air, the color turns to green and then blue. The color transformation happened too fast for me to grab my camera in time, but it was beautiful.

I dipped my yarn three times and what fantastic results!
