Indigo (Indigofera tinctoria)
More Information
Indigo has long been one of the most important dyestuffs; this dye was used as far back as 6000 years ago in China. Indigo produces an intense deep blue color. The leaves and branches of the plant are harvested, placed in a vat, covered with water, and permitted to ferment. The sludge of partially rotted plant material which settles on the bottom is collected and pressed into cakes. When dry, these produce a powder that makes a colorless solution. The color only develops when an item is dipped into the solution, removed and then exposed to air.
