Synthetic Indigo Dye Kit

Kraftkolour’s Synthetic Indigo Dye Kit provides a professional yet easy entry into the world of indigo dyeing. Designed for both hobbyists and textile professionals, it contains all the essential ingredients for preparing a traditional indigo vat using synthetic Indigo Vat Blue 1.

This kit includes synthetic indigo powder, Hydros ST (reducing agent), and soda ash (alkali), pre-measured to create a balanced vat that achieves deep, uniform blues. The formula produces the same oxidation magic as natural indigo — transforming green fabric in the vat to vivid indigo upon exposure to air.

Built for both beginners and experienced dyers, the kit ensures reliable performance with minimal setup time. It’s ideal for demonstrations, small projects, or consistent batch dyeing in studio environments.
