DIY Indigo dyeing- A how to thread
-
Thanks I'm happy how my hat turned out.

@Filthy 21/23oz junkie , you’re absolutely right dude, it does look like a hell of a lot of effort. I probably won’t re-dye my old jeans as the result may not be what I was looking for. Thank you for having a go though mate.

Yeah it was a lot of work. But now I am happy I did it because I think my hat turned out nice. There is a deep indigo color now with lots of neat variations. Looks great.

I think on a lot of people cursing is a sign of low intelligence, especially on me. But I have worked in heavy industry for so long (among other hives of scum and villainy too) and I now have a pretty filthy mouth. I try to hold most of it back though… and I thought swearing here was against the rules for a time. Like everyone used to say, "feck". But I noticed that has since gone by the wayside. And every once in a while, I put an f-bomb in there if it makes what I am writing seem a bit more colorful.
I hope in earnest I never sincerely offend anybody here though. Really and truly. I often think about how it would be cool if there was an unmoderated part to the forum, and that access was gained by invitation only. But then I think in reality the less I say the better.

all good Mike!

I'm just catching up with the forum after running around for 10 days, and this thread is really great. Thanks for sharing your project, Mike @Filthy 21/23oz junkie

My pleasure. Hey Anne, I hope this new year is the best year ever for you. @sabergirl

Thanks, Mike @Filthy 21/23oz junkie, I've had a lot of challenges to face in the past couple years, but I'm hopeful that things are on the up and up!

I am redying my favorite hat. I decided to just buy some synthetic dye instead of natural indigo this time. I just heated to water on the stove to boiling and added the dye then the hat. I'll leave it in there until tomorrow probably.

Blue AF
Seems like it might fade to an electric blue.

My hat turned out great.

Sure any time! @goosehd

@Haddtoo 555 I have just purchased another indigo kit if you still want me to dye you something… I plan on dying this shirt next week.

I dyed some of my shit with natural indigo this time…
Looks like I got a good deep color there but I hope it isn't splotchy because I didn't follow the instructions and just went for it based on my previous knowledge…
