Next year’s indigo crop is looking beautiful. #goingtoseed #indigo #naturaldye #pinkflowers
As part of the indigo collective, I helped turn the indigo compost this spring (once a week for 100 days). The first vat is in production with these items dyed from our efforts. #naturaldye #indigo #indigodye #fibershed #heirloomfestival
The fiber and plant dye gardens are inspirational. #indigo #cotton #madder #tansy the bounty from a biodynamic tradition that includes the sacred horn. #fibershed
We filled the patio with the harvested indigo! Much better yield on second harvest. Fingers crossed we will get a third before weather changes. #fibershed #indigocollective #indigo #indigodye #naturaldye #homestead
Second harvest has begun. Looks like this one will be much more than first. Yay! #fibershed #naturaldye #naturaldyes #indigodye #indigo #naturalfibers #permaculture
For centuries, #indigo has long been prized for its scrumptious blue hue. There’s an exciting, growing movement in the North Bay fibershed to determine if growing indigo is viable. We’ve gotten into the action, planting 1500 three-stem #indigo starts at 8th & Bee (that’s 4500 indigo plants!) We’ll harvest it twice this year and dry the leaves in prep for a dye recipe.
