Pre Reduced Indigo 60% Dye

Kraftkolour’s Pre-Reduced Indigo 60% Dye provides the deep, rich beauty of indigo with unmatched convenience. Unlike traditional indigo powders that require complex vat chemistry, this pre-reduced form has already undergone chemical reduction, allowing it to dissolve directly in water without additional reducing agents.

Ideal for both beginners and professionals, this dye delivers classic indigo hues with minimal setup. It can be used on cotton, linen, silk, or wool, producing results identical to traditional vats but in a faster, cleaner, and more controlled way. Its high 60% indigo content ensures potent colour saturation and efficient use — a little goes a long way.

This dye is an excellent choice for educational settings, small studios, or anyone wanting authentic indigo colour without maintaining a live vat. It’s also perfect for resist, tie-dye, and shibori techniques where consistency and predictability are key.
