Indigo Kit - Natural Dye - Blue - Pre-measured ingredients for an Organic Indigo Fructose Vat

$46.00

$46.00

This vat is also known as the sugar fermentation indigo vat or the Miguel Garcia 1-2-3 indigo vat. The 1-2-3 refers to one-part indigo, two parts lime and three parts fructose. You will need to have more lime and fructose on hand to adjust or freshen the vat.  The fructose vat is based on traditional indigo vats which often used very ripe fruit as the source of sugar. The fructose acts as the reducing agent and the lime raises the alkalinity. The fructose vat is best for for cellulose fibers as it has a high alkalinity (the pH is about 11). The pH of this vat too high for wool. You may wish to use a different vat when dyeing wool 
The fructose indigo vat is quick to setup, has no bad smells and the ingredients are easy to find. However it has sediment in the bottom and you must avoid touching the sediment when dyeing. This vat produces only light to medium blues. For darker blues or larger amounts of fibers you could try the iron indigo vat or a pre-reduced vat. A Fructose Vat also needs a heat source. Heat may be used to start a vat, or later to revive it, but indigo vats do not require maintained heat. If using a plastic container you can supply heat with an immersion heater like for an aquarium. If you are using gas or electric heat you will, of course, need to use a stainless steel pot.
