Indigo Dyeing 101: How to Dye with Indigo [Vat Types & Process]

What is indigo dye? Indigo is a pigment extracted from the leaves of indigo-bearing plants and is the oldest natural source of blue dye in the world. Humans have used indigo to dye natural fibers for thousands of years, with traditions spanning continents and cultures. Indigo dye was common in ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Britain, Mesoamerica, Peru, Iran, and West Africa. The oldest known indigo-dyed cloth was found in Peru and dates back 6,000 years. Because of its high value in trade, indigo was often referred to as blue gold. It was a major export and cash crop in South Carolina in the 1700s, playing a major role in plantation slavery there, along with cotton and rice. In 1865, German chemist Adolf von Baeyer introduced synthetic indigo, which was created in a lab and much less expensive to produce than naturally-grown indigo pigment. Most indigo dye made today is synthetic, constituting several thousand tons each year. Indigo pigment is not soluble in water, and therefore the dyeing liquid must be devoid of oxygen or “reduced” for the pigment to bond to fiber. A common modern indigo vat is known as a “1-2-3” vat, the recipe developed by French botanist and chemist Michel Garcia. Each vat includes three ingredients: indigo pigment as the source of color, a component to elevate the pH, and a reducing agent. The ingredients are proportionally added based on their weight in powder form. An example of a recipe may be one part indigo pigment, two parts calciu...
