Natural blue: Salt and fresh indigo leaves
I have come to love this method of dyeing blue with indigo because it is so accessible. I can knead the indigo blue from freshly picked leaves directly from the plants in the garden without the need for much equipment or electricity! It works best with the fresh leaves of Dyer's knotweed (also known as Japanese indigo), Polygonum tinctorum.
