Aijozome (Indigo Dye)

A New Way to Dye Indigo— Without Fermentation

Aijō, a pigment made from fermented and precipitated fresh indigo leaves, can be simply dissolved in water. Unlike traditional indigo dyeing, which requires fermentation or chemical reduction, this method does not involve any chemical agents or complex vat building. It’s a clean, easy, and innovative way to enjoy indigo dyeing for home dyers.

The soft, light blue of Aijozome pairs beautifully with the earthy tones of Bengala dyes. You can layer or blend the two to create unique natural hues.

For best results, we recommend using Bengala Dye Prefixer to prepare your fabric before dyeing. It helps achieve a more vibrant, longer-lasting Aijozome indigo color.
