For the uninitiated, Indigo is the best dye to start with: it is fast and easy to use, permanent, a great backyard/group activity, and totally magical. (The fabric comes out of the dye bath green and changes to indigo blue within minutes, right before your eyes!). This is the oldest dye on the planet, and what is used for every pair of #bluejeans you've ever worn!
A little different than tie dye, Shibori is a Japanese method of dyeing patterns by twisting, binding, wrapping, folding, stitching. The main dye used for this technique is Indigo because of its easy to create resist patterns on fabric. Jacquard products make it simple to create this ancient natural dye using their Indigo kit here.
