    @k.wang ---trying to remember, I think it was just one dip, for about 20 minutes? The fiber is mostly alpaca--it , and the silk I dyed, picked up the color the fastest. Linen and cotton items took several dips to achieve the right color.

    Ursula!! Haha oh no! I loved the video...I have such admiration for you :)

    Love indigo, such a range of beautiful shades it produces. I've only dyed with it once, but this inspires me to find some time to try again. And of course so happy to see Ursula here...:)
