It is important to remember that: Natural not always best in dyeing, or in textiles in general for that matter. We must always strive to seek the most sustainable option and don’t just go with the instinct that natural is best. Keep this in mind, if we were to use only natural ingigo dye to dye all the denim in the world we wouldn’t have enough land on the planet for growing food!

Rowena, I love this article. I’ve been very interested in organic dying and plan to get into, in January. It will be a great project for me and I think my husband is curious about this, also. Can you suggest the best source of info I could get my hands on?

I hadn’t really thought of this before (fabric, yes, but dye, no). It’s nice to see how anyone(?) can do this in their own home. The colors came out beautifully, and I can’t wait until more companies are able to incorporate it into their clothing.
