A Handbook of Indigo Dyeing: Re-issue

It is a well layed out book, clear and informative. The variety of recipes for extracting Indigo gives options to the practice of making the beautiful indigo dye is useful. Also there an interesting addition of instructions to make a few beautiful items dyed with Indigo.

A very interesting book about the use of indigo dyeing and its applications. Contains details of different types of indigo and the various ways it can be made into a dye, some of this quite technical ie which chemicals to use etc. It also has some projects, and a brief description of some of the many ways of tying and wrapping for shibori (tie dying). Quite a specialist book.

Lovely book both to read and use. Lots of photos, diagrams and instructions for different types of Shibori. A useful and helpful book.

Although I have not had time to really go into indigo dying in depth, this is the book that has given me more information and will be my bible from now on!

Not so easy to follow

A must for any indigo wannabe, great tips, solid information based on experience a great addition to any library....

Excellent handbook on the principles and chemistry of indigo dyes and all the different ways of producing it, although I suspect most of us will just use the simple kits!

Our theme for Christmas was Indigo so this book was great! Lovely pictures and so interesting!
