This technique only works with indigo, since clay paste is soluble in water and would wash off in other dye baths, but the unique qualities of the indigo vat mean that the clay holds up in the vat. When you are finished dyeing, you simply wash off the paste and reveal your design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe paste can be used on any fabric made of natural fibres, such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, etc. We recommend using fabric without too much texture, and that you begin by using smaller pieces of fabric, rather than one large. Coloured or previously dyed fabric works as well. If your fabric is yellow, for example, it will remain yellow where you apply the paste, and will become green where it mixes with the blue from the indigo vat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe quantity of fabric you can print and dye will depend on your design - if your design has a lot of \"white space\" or areas that will be resist printed, the paste will get used up quickly. If your design has finer lines and smaller areas of resist, you will be able to print more fabric. As a general ballpark, you can expect to resist print 2-4 yards of fabric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e==============================\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e15g magnesium sulphate (epsom salts)\u003cbr\u003e30g gum arabic\u003cbr\u003e50g calcium bentonite clay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e==============================\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also sell \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.juliesinden.com\/collections\/stencils\" target=\"_blank\"\u003estencils\u003c\/a\u003e to use with the kit, as seen in the photos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLooking for things to dye?
