#woad #isatistincotria #freshleafextraction Dyeing with Woad - Fresh Leaf Extraction My 1st ever attempt It’s time to cut my Woad and extract the blue pigment from the fresh leaves and dye some yarn! This is my first attempt at fresh leaf Indigo (using woad) extraction! 🍃The Method: This technique is called Fresh Leaf Indigo Extraction. It can be done in many different ways and I have read numerous methods from many people in the know over the last 50 odd years. But for my first attempt I decided to follow Helen Melvin’s method. You can follow it by buying her fabulous ebook and having a go yourself if you are interested. It’s called ’The Colour of the Sea and the Sky - The art of Indigo Dyeing.’ 🍃For the FULL SCIENCE on how the ’blue’ appears and from the master who knows it all.
