| Natural
Indigo Dye / Blue Indigo Dye |
| Indigo Dye is obtained from the processing of the
plant's leaves. They are soaked in water and fermented in order to
convert the glycoside indican naturally present in the plant to the blue
dye indigotin. The precipitate from the fermented leaf solution is mixed
with a strong base such as lye, pressed into cakes, dried, and powdered.
The powder is then mixed with various other substances to produce
different shades of blue and purple.

Leaves |
| Most natural indigo dye is obtained from indigo leaves
in the genus Indigofera, which are native to the tropics. In Europe,
indigo can be obtained from woad (Isatis tinctoria) and dyer's knotweed
(Polygonum tinctorum). The primary commercial indigo species in Asia is
true indigo (Indigofera tinctoria), a shrub found in Southeastern Asia.
Its flowers range from red to purple. The Blue Wild Indigo (Baptisia australis) also known as Blue False Indigo, is a North American herbaceous perennial plant that was used by the Cherokee Indians to make a blue dye. Our indigo leaves are also used for making hair dye. |
