Using Instant Indigo

Fill a Soup Sized Stainless Steel Pot with WARM water. 90-110 degrees is perfect.

Using a Whisk, stir in half a package (� oz) Instant Indigo granules.
Sprinkle one heaping Teaspoon of THIOX over the entire surface of water.
Cover the pot & let it rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
This is the when the oxygen leaves the pot, making it usable.
Maintain a WARM temperature no higher than 110 degrees while actively using the indigo pot.
Remove the lid & submerge your pre-wetted cloth items, yarn, or fiber.
Gently move the items around under the surface, while counting to� let�s say 5 or 15 for starters. Try not to be a splashy duck here, it will introduce oxygen & that�s not a good thing.
While your goods are still under the surface, squeeze out/up the side over the edge into a bowl of cool water. Swish around to remove residue. This is called Water Oxidation & removes any dark �schmutz� from your goods.
Squeeze out & Air Oxidize for 5-15 minutes.
Air Oxidize simply means hang up the goods & let them rest for a period of time. The idea here is that the more dips & oxidations, the deeper the color saturation will be� with the eventual buildup of color molecules.
Rinse in vinegar water, � cup vinegar to 1 gallon of water.
Unlike other dyes, Indigo COATS the fibers, hence it will �Crock off,� or shed, if not cured properly or washed enough times to prevent transfer. Curing can take up to 5 washes in mild soapy water.
