how to make indigo powder - #41454
I am feeling kind of lost here. I recently got really into natural dyes and I’ve been wanting to learn how to make indigo powder at home, you know? I’ve read online that it’s possible but then I see different methods and I get confused! Like, some say it involves fermenting these leaves, while others are more about grinding them up. I tried following one recipe but ended up with more mush than powder after hours of work! Ugh, so frustrating! I have this small garden, and I've been growing some indigo plants, thinking that would be enough. They look pretty healthy, but I just don’t know how to actually turn them into indigo powder that I can use for dyeing fabric or whatever. Do I need to dry the leaves first? And I keep wondering how long does this whole process take? I mean, I’d like to know what supplies I really need to make the process smoother—like, do I need any special equipment or just a blender, maybe? Also, I heard that the quality of the powder could change based on the method you use. Like, is there, you know, a better way to do this for a really vibrant color? Thanks for any tips on how to make indigo powder — I can't wait to hear what you guys think works best!
