This all-in-one kit provides you with everything you need to create beautiful indigo-dyed fabrics. Just add hot water to the natural indigo vat ingredients in the glass jar, and you'll have a fructose indigo vat ready for in just a few hours.
Mixing your vat is made easy with the included 5-minute video guide. The step-by-step guide, printed on a risograph by small press A Magic Mountain, offers expert tips and best dyeing practices for achieving beautiful results. Resist indigo dye with the various wooden shapes included, allowing you to create unique shibori patterns on your fabric canvas.

Here is what is not included in the kit and you can acquire at any hardware store: - 5-gallon bucket with lid - A stirring stick that is about 3 feet long
No outdoor space? You can definitely dye indoors. You will want to put down an old sheet or drop cloth to prevent any drips from getting on the floor.
This recipe follows Michel Garcia's 123 natural indigo vat, and the instant indigo method was shared with me by Catharine Ellis.
