Meet the Human

Julie Sinden is an award winning textile artist originally from the quiet shores of Lake Erie, now living and working in Toronto. Julie fell in love with natural dyeing in her first week of art school in 2002. Over the years, she became an expert and a teacher of the craft. In 2018 she launched The Love of Colour, a place to celebrate colour, plant dyes and making. She teaches dye classes at The Workroom in Toronto.

Julie's other love is travel, and she has journeyed to Japan, Guatemala, Morocco and Mexico to study dyeing and weaving.

Why We Love This

As a longtime indigo dyer myself, I can confirm that this is an awesome starter set with instructions that will demystify the process for anyone who wants to dip their toe into this beautiful art medium. Once you see the magic happen, you won't want to stop! This makes a great gift for your creative loved one. Pair with a few plain t-shirts, a pack of cotton tea towels, or skeins of yarn! --Gigi

This indigo dyeing kit is the perfect introduction to the centuries old technique of dyeing with indigo. Contains the pre-measured ingredients to create one organic indigo vat, with which you can dye fabric, yarn, garments, home goods in gorgeous shades of blue. The indigo is 100% plant based and the process is nothing short of magical, as you watch the fibres turn from green to blue as they oxidize. Comes with detailed instructions aimed at an absolute beginner, which guide the user step by step. Packaged in a sturdy, recyclable kraft paper box which has been silk screened by hand.

Ingredients: indigofera tinctoria extract, fructose fruit sugar, pickling lime
