Dyes

Please note - we also stock a number of dyes made by the Jacquard company. These can be found in the 'Jacquard Range' section.

Landscapes
Dyes for wool and silk in colours that are inspired by the clarity of light and the unique natural beauty of the Australian landscape. Landscapes will dye wool, mohair, alpaca (protein fibres), silk or nylon either as fleece, spun yarn or fabric. These acid dyes come in powder form in 100g pots; enough to dye 1kg of fleece. General instructions are on each pot. Specific instuctions for various types of dyeing are also available.

Pre-Reduced Indigo Crystals
For use on all natural fibres. Use for dyeing things Indigo Blue, Vat (submersion, tub) dyeing, tie-dye or shibori in a tub.
Natural Indigo takes a considerable amount of effort to get it into a working dye bath.   As an alternative, try this Pre-reduced Indigo. It has been pre-reduced chemically, then dried, so it dissolves in water right off the bat. You will still need to add Sodium Hydrosulfite, (aka Thiox, aka Thiourea Dioxide), but the nasty Lye is replaced by Soda Ash (a milder alkali). The best thing is that it only takes about 10 minutes to prepare the dye bath and you get the same unique results as with the regular Indigo. And like any indigo bath, it can be refreshed with the addition of more dye or more chemicals, and you can keep it going for a long time.
