Texture studies (ft. Javert and Jean Valjean!)

A couple weeks ago, I tried indigo dyeing for the first time! I thought I’d share some of the process.


I had already prepared several pieces of fabric for dyeing, by stitching them up with various shibori stitch patterns. I used Kona PFD Bleach, and some painters canvas that I had pre-washed before stitching. I also had yarn that I wound into skeins.

To make the natural indigo vat, I used natural indigo extract, calcium hydroxide thiourea dioxide as a reducing agent. (Side note - I’m using the term “natural indigo” because you can also use “synthetic indigo” and I specifically wanted to try the natural vat.) If you are curious about the details of the indigo recipe I used, you can check out and download lots of great, detailed information from Maiwa Supply Shop.

I collected other supplies over the last month from various stores (mostly Giant Tiger and IKEA, and white buckets from Canadian Tire). I was careful to get only stainless steel, glass or plastic because other materials could react with the dye or alter the process.

I first made the indigo stock solution. It started out pale blue but soon turned bright yellow! (See below). When I added it to the bucket, it turned a pale yellow-green, with a coppery sheen on top – which is apparently how it’s supposed to look. 

When I put my first few items in the vat, I wasn’t sure if it would work! I left the items in for about 15 minutes then slowly took them out. They were bright chartreuse coming out, but quickly started turning green, then aqua, then blue. It was amazing!

I did several “dips” in the vat for each piece -letting them sit in the vat for 10 minutes or so, then taking out to let oxidize in between dips. For my canvas, I did 3 dips each, and for the cotton squares I did 4 or 5. I also overdyed some yarn (more on that in another post!)

Then, it was the moment of truth - to see the final results! After the last dips, I rinsed the pieces in water, took out the stitching, and rinsed again. I was so pleased with the results and how the shibori stitching turned out! Here are the results from stitched piece to final design!

Now that I have all the supplies, I will do indigo dyeing again for sure! This time was definitely a learning process and I know next time I’ll tweak a few things. It’s so fun trying something new!

Maiwa scraps project: Back in February, I took a short overnight work trip to Vancouver. I had about an hour to myself before stores closed that evening after work, so I decided to go to Granville Island just for fun. I came across a store called Maiwa that I hadn’t heard of before. (I’ve since learned that they are probably the most well known source for natural dye supplies in the country!) They had a scrap bin up front full of bits and offcuts from their clothing products, all natural fibres and naturally dyed. 

I filled a bag with square scraps and took it home, thinking I’d make a quilt during the summer months with these beautiful pieces. I didn’t touch the bag until last month, when I dumped out the scraps and started organizing. There were a lot of colours and options! 

I started to have the idea to do something like an “Ocean Waves” quilt (in Denyse Schmidt’s book) or something similar. I made a few of these traditional-looking blocks, and I’m liking the results so far!

[ Kesaran Pasaran ]

  • Família: Mandrágora
  • Tipo: Planta
  • Habitat: Incerto, já que elas se movem junto ao vento; também encontrado no Reino das Fadas
  • Personalidade: Alegre, mansa
  • Dieta: Sêmen de homens

Registro na enciclopédia: 

Um monstro do tipo planta com uma aparência peculiar, com um corpo coberto por algo como bolas brancas de algodão. Seu corpo é extremamente leve e se move flutuando no ar. A forma madura tem a forma de um humano, mas enquanto se desenvolve, elas são pouco mais que pequenas bolas brancas de penugem. Porque elas parecem misteriosas enquanto dançam no ar, elas são chamadas de “Kesaran Pasaran que convidam a felicidade”. Dizem que se você pegar uma ela vai trazer felicidade.

Exatamente o oposto do que se poderia supor de seu apelido, suas bolas de algodão são na verdade poderosos compostos alucinógenos que são extremamente perigosos para as pessoas. Se você respirar, a sua capacidade de pensar ficará limitada, e tudo o que você vai querer fazer é “sentir-se feliz”. No entanto, enquanto elas ainda estão em desenvolvimento, o efeito alucinógeno é fraco, e por isso muitas vezes faz você se sentir “um pouco melhor”. É provavelmente assim que elas receberam o apelido.

Quando encontram um homem que lhes agrada, elas descem em direção a ele e espalham penugens em forma de pólen para que ele as respire. Depois, elas buscam relações com o homem para seu próprio alimento e para se tornarem capazes de produzir sementes. Embora dominado pelas alucinações, o homem percebe esse ato em si como uma extensão de sua felicidade e, em vez de resistir, muitas vezes procura copular com ela em busca de ainda mais felicidade.

Devido aos sentimentos profundos de euforia, muitos homens violentamente as violam, mas fazer os homens felizes assim é o que as faz felizes também. Os sorrisos nunca desaparecem de seus rostos, e o intenso prazer de uma penetração violenta fará com que seus sorrisos se transformem em uma expressão mais extática. Dessa maneira, enquanto estão sendo engolfados pela euforia juntos, o par continuará copulando.

Ao ter relações sexuais com homens dessa maneira, elas produzem suas sementes. Em seguida, elas os envolvem em parte de sua penugem e a enviam voando pelo céu. Depois de serem lançados, elas se movem suavemente enquanto crescem, terminando na forma madura, a forma de um humano. Acreditando nas histórias sobre “Kesaran Pasaran que trazem a felicidade”, vários homens as pegam em seu estágio de desenvolvimento, e depois acabaram sendo atacados depois que amadureceram.

Esses monstros extremamente raros raramente são avistados. Parece que plantas peculiares que habitavam originalmente “O Reino das Fadas” se desviaram para o mundo humano enquanto eram levadas pelo vento. Dizem que talvez a razão pela qual o Reino das Fadas esteja supostamente envolto em felicidade é que muitos desses monstros vivem lá.

Lots of brownie points to @merchantandmills and @contradouk for sending their samples through so quickly - I only ordered them yesterday! The M&M cottons are to see which colours go with my vintage lace trims (petticoats!), and the Contrado samples are to go in the wash, to see how the print fares in the machine before I decide about designing my own fabric. #merchantandmills #cotton #muslin #indiancotton #fabricsamples #swatches #organic #organiccotton #printyourownfabric #contrado
