Plastic Net Dye Bags - great for dyeing a variety of fibers in one dyepot, or several person’s fibers in same pot (workshops!). Also helps dye more evenly -about 6 bags in dyepot keeps fibers from clumping together, and they’re easier to handle than fishing fibers from dyepot to rinse water! |

Freeze Dried
Indigo FDI-2 $6.50
for 2oz FDI-16 $52.00
for 1 pound
This is truly amazing stuff! 2 oz will dye pounds of fiber. Judith McKenzie once told me that a pound of Freeze Dried Indigo "is enough to dye a small town in Montana." This is the real thing - it is indigo with the mordant included then freeze dried- all you do is add water. (It is a bit more complicated than that but not much). We have some good instructions that come with every purchase. |

Except for the Natural Dyes Kit, our natural dyes and mordants do NOT come with instructions. There are many “recipes” for different colors and for different fiber types (protein vs plant).
