Recipes for Organic Indigo Vats[. ] Try different combinations or experiment with local plants and fruits. For example, we have found mixing two organic reducing agents, such as henna and fructose, gives a strong indigo vat. These vats give the best results if they are made the day before dyeing.... Remember to cover your vat when not in use. These organic vats were originally developed by Michel Garcia, a botanist and dye chemist with a deep knowledge of how colour behaves on the molecular level. The recipes outlined here were developed by him to create efficient indigo vats using eco-friendly ingredients.

CONT

Le Henné, Lawsonia inermis est un arbrisseau de la famille des Lythrarées. Il pousse généralement dans les oasis sahariennes. Il n'atteint presque jamais la taille de 1 mètre mais il peut devenir arborescent. Son bois est blanc; il porte des fleurs blanches à quatre pétales disposées en bouquets et parfumées. On en tire en Orient des essences et des huiles odorantes, mais c'est surtout pour ses feuilles que l'on fait un grand commerce car on en tire un pigment naturel qui a de nombreuses vertus.
