HOW TO DYE WITH FRESH LEAF INDIGO | BLENDER METHOD | ORGANIC COLOR | BLUE GREEN | THE COLOR FARM

Описание: Fresh leaf indigo is an amazing way to dip your hands into one of the most elusive colors in the nature's palette - blue! Fresh is the key here: harvested indigo needs to be processed quickly to enjoy the unique cool colors it chooses to share with you. There are many methods of extracting the dye from indigo leaves, all of which are a labor of love. Join me as I explore the blender method from fresh leaf indigo harvested from the Color Farm at its late summer peak. This tutorial will show you how to blend leaves to reveal the blues & greens on various types of fiber swatch samples (cotton, silk, wool, paper & wood).
