Country or region: SC, USA

Message: Want to buy a block of indigo dye. I am an educator and want to show children how dye was shipped out of SC. Do you know of sources? Can be synthetic, but prefer the real thing. Thanks for any information you can supply.

You can order whole lump indigo cake from Aurora Silks.

Most of the natural indigo you find available for sale to hand dyers in the US is pre-ground, which is more convenient to use, but not as suitable for your purpose. I believe the whole lump form is more prevalent in some other parts of the world.

(Please help support this web site. Thank you.)
