The timeless blue of indigo is one of the oldest dyes known to us. Extracted from the indigo plant, it is a complex dye that requires keen attention and practice to master. Indigo dyeing gives a range of hues ranging from the pale blue of the morning skies, the inky hues of the midnight sky and myriad shades in between.
