Indigo Fabric

We've all seen the unique blue color of denim. This distinctive shade of blue is called Indigo, and it comes from the natural dye extracted from the leaves of plants in the genus Indigofera. Indigo is widely used in fabric dyeing for its rich and intense color. It is considered one of the oldest dyes, having been used since ancient times in India and Egypt. Unlike other dyes, it does not need a mordant to bond with the fabric and works best on natural fibers like cotton and silk.
