LIQUID INDIGO

  Dyes are the name given to the chemicals by which a comparatively permanent colour is imparted to certain bodies, of which the most important are the textile fibres.

Indigo has been used for thousands of years, and it’s one of the oldest dyes used by mankind. There is evidence of indigo being used already in mummy cloths in ancient Egypt . Before the synthetic dyes were developed in the 19th century indigo as well as other dyes were produced from plants . In Europe, Dyer’s Woad (Isatis tinctoria L.) was cultivated for indigo production and Indigofera species (for example Indigofera tinctoria) were used in the tropics. Dyer’s knotweed (Polygonum tinctorium) was cultivated for indigo in China and Japan. Woad is a temperate herbaceous biennial plant and it produces leaf rosettes on the first year (Figure 1), which are harvested for the indigo production and on second year it produces flower stems and seeds for reproduction. Woad is native to South-East Russia and it has spread from there to cultivation in the rest of Europe . Woad was an important crop in Europe in the middle ages and it brought immense wealth to the woad traders. The renowned centres of the trade were Toulouse in France and Erfurt in Germany which still have some lingering effect of woad commerce ].
