whoop indigo!

After many weeks of thinking "I must start the indigo vat" I finally did it this afternoon.  And had a lovely play dyeing some fabric, my first spindle spun silk, a little practice shibori and overdyeing a wool/silk shawl that was previously too bright a pink for me, some meh coloured commercial threads and a hat which I think is made of raffia or sim.

Here are the results after 2 dips in the vat
