Indigo Form in the Natural Dye Kit

Q: Is the indigo in your Indigo & Shibori Natural Dye Kit in powder form or paste form? Is it pre-reduced?

A: The indigo itself is in a paste slurry form that has never been dried, so there is no challenge (as there is with fully dried indigo) in getting it hydrated.

It is not pre-reduced which means it needs to be mixed with two other ingredients (included in the kit) that activate the indigo pigment into an indigo dye.
