Kit - indigo paste - making a thiox vat

Item highlights

  • Materials: indigo, persicaria tinctoria, thiox, calx, citric acid, bilingual instruction booklet, local product

Sorry, we could not translate this listing to English.

The kit includes:

A 120g bottle of indigo paste
100g Calcium Hydroxide (calx)
30g Thiourea dioxide (Thiox)
20g citric acid
Explanatory and recipe booklet for setting up an indigo vat from your kit and basic concepts on indigo dyeing.

The Thiox vat is the easiest indigo vat to successfully complete. I highly recommend it for a first indigo dyeing experience.

This kit is designed to introduce you to indigo dyeing. I explain how to set up a Thiox vat using indigo paste and provide tips for using the vat effectively and keeping it productive for a long time.

The kit includes more products than needed to assemble the tank, so you can learn how to maintain a tank over time and reactivate it later.

You have enough indigo to dye 1kg of fabric a medium blue.

After several years of research and experimentation, we are extremely proud to present our indigo paste, sourced from our dye plant garden in Kamouraska.

Each batch of pigment is the result of a whole year of artisanal work: maturation of the seeds, spring sowing, field cultivation, manual harvesting of the indigo leaves, cold fermentation, manufacturing and cleaning of the pigment, up to bottling.

The result? A pure and vibrant indigo paste, ideal for creating an indigo vat to dye textiles from a natural, artisanal and local pigment!

The process for making an indigo vat from paste is similar to that of making it from dry pigment. Therefore, you can base it on your preferred recipes.

It is much easier to prepare an indigo vat from paste because the pigment is already hydrated and reduces more efficiently in the vat. This allows us to obtain a darker vat than its equivalent in dry pigment.

I estimate that 1g of dry pigment is equivalent to approximately 5g of indigo paste.

So, a 120g bottle of indigo paste is equivalent to approximately 24g of dry pigment.

One bottle is sufficient to create a small test-size tank, dark blue, or a medium light blue for a 10L tank.

To dye very small quantities of textiles, it is possible not to use a full bottle. You will then need to adjust the quantities of product according to the proportions provided.

If you want a darker blue or if you are making a larger vat (16L), I advise you to use two or more bottles of indigo paste depending on the desired color.


With your purchase, you will receive a bilingual link (EN/FR) to the recipes for indigo vats with Thiox and fructose, as well as the steps to follow to assemble the vats and dye with indigo.

Calculate the quantity of indigo paste for a 10L vat:

Pale blue = 20g dry pigment = 100g indigo paste = 1 bottle
Medium blue = 50g dry pigment = 250g indigo paste = 2 bottles
Dark blue = 62.5g dry pigment = 312.50g indigo paste = 3 bottles
Very dark blue = 80g dry pigment = 400g indigo paste = 4 bottles
