Indigo dye demonstration at Historic London Town and Gardens. Indigo dye is made from the Indigofera plant, otherwise known as “indigo”. Indigo was sourced from tropical regions in the colonial period. Dying with indigo is intriguing: the fabric doesn’t turn blue until it is exposed to oxygen. When the fabric is first removed from the dye pot, it looks yellow but rapidly changes color to blue. To get a very dark blue, the fabric needs to be repeatedly dipped in the dye bath and exposed to oxygen. • #historiclondontown #annearundelcounty #livinghistory #coloniallife #18thcenturylife #historiclondontown #visitmaryland #fabricart • 5d
