Abstract

Dyeing with Japanese indigo grown in the home garden can be an exciting and satisfying way to incorporate gardening into more aspects of your life and create unique products for yourself and others. This resource provides information to those who would like to experience the process from growing the plant until the final dyed project and those who would like to purchase the pigment and use it for dyeing. After preparing the fabric, there are many ways to dye with indigo. Two well-established methods, accessible and achievable for the beginning dyer, are included.
