Process

 

This has been my absolute first time experimenting with Indigo dyes, let alone natural plant based dye. Achieving my desired shade of indigo was a little bit more of a challenge than I had anticipated, yet it was a great experience nonetheless. It was a lot of trial and error but I had come to the conclusion that 100% organic linen is a very absorbent fiber thus making nearly impossible to resist dye with. The final result was the fabric absorbing a beautiful shade of blue. I will be using this fabric in my capstone collection for one of my looks.
