I still had dye left in my trash can indigo vat so I dyed a kilogram of wool yarn. I had to add more reducing agent and when you put protein fibers in high pH, you can add hide glue to protect, but I tried regular gelatin instead (should be same and less stinky and also cheaper).

Here is what it looks like before it oxidizes. It is cool to watch the blue color develop from the green. Also note my highly sophisticated holding device made of an unbent wire hanger threaded through plastic tubing.

P.S. 1 kg of wet wool yarn is really fucking heavy.

P.P.S. I ran out of sodium hydrosulfite (reducing agent). Wanted something fast so I ordered thiourea dioixde from Earthues because they ship really fast. There is still dye left so I might try something else next weekend if I get an idea.
