Indigo Dyed Fabric
Renee & David are now offering their own Indigo Dyed Yard Cloth
Our Dear Friend Francis Sanders, Seamstress of Fort Downing Trading Co. used our Linen dyed yard cloth to make this fine dress.
3 more Yards come out of the dye vat, to be dried, then rinsed, dryed agian, washed, then dried again, then ironed!!
I usually do the dyeing Indigo with my Blue Jeans on, like a painter wears white in case he spatters some on him!
Our Indigo Dyed Linen & Silk is all produced Naturally with no Harsh Chemicals, using a vat technique proper to the 18th century, called the Appalachian Vat, by Jim Lyles. Don't worry we don't use Stale Urine!
The Indigo dying process is very time consuming and laborious! We are not set up to do a large amount, and our Dye Vat is limited to 5 yards of Linen at a time. We will be pleased to take custom orders but contact us first. Please understand it may be a while before we can fill your order. We feel we offer the re-enactment community a great product at the price of
$25 a yard
We can send out a small sample for $1.00 which includes shipping & handling.
Here is a Gentleman's Coat made of 5 yards of Indigo Dyed Linen, that we dyed this summer! Francis Sanders of Fort Downing Trading Co. Made this to order for a friend of ours. See Francis & Leroy Sanders' Website for fine 18th Century Garments at
Also We offer Hand Dyed & Hand Woven Indigo Scarves, Wraps, and Tea Towels. See our Sutler Shop Page for more details, and our Etsy page to Purchase or Just Call or Email !
