Paradise Fibers: TITLE

Instant indigo is natural indigo processed by a new method from India. The indigo has been pre-reduced and then freeze--dried into a crystal. As long as you keep it dry, it will keep indefinitely. It is easy to use and gives deep, wonderful colors. It is suitable for all natural fibers and will also dye many synthetics such as nylon, tencel and rayon. In addition, it is very cost effective.

Michelle Wipplinger has spent several decades developing Earthues, a line of natural dye extracts. These highly concentrated powdered and liquid dyes come from nature: bark, roots, berries, and bugs!

These extracts are considerably more concentrated than the raw ingredients. For example, the cochineal extract is eight times more concentrated than the dried bugs, the osage extract is 5.5 times more concentrated than the wood chips, and the logwood extract is 2.5 times stronger than the sawdust.

They can be applied to textiles, wood, bone, leather, and other natural surfaces. Instructions for use are included.
