INDIGO CRAFT BOX 

Description: 

Indigo is one of the oldest dyes in the world, with a complex extraction process that has led to its moniker of ‘blue gold’. Natural indigo is a fascinating, temperamental dye that requires patience and practice. The study of indigo could fill a lifetime of exploration, learning and discovery.

Natural indigo is a healing dye with regenerative qualities, meaning that it gives back to the earth, creating a cycle of positive impact.
