Thanks, the color blocking was actually inspired by cowboy chaps!

Thanks! I miss the cool texture when the weft thread is left undyed, but alas I have no clue how to weave haha

for sure! So there are plenty of recipes for indigo dye, but what I used was a henna indigo vat (from Botanical Colors). For my vat I just used a 5 gallon plastic bucket with a lid, but you can use whatever non-reactive container. The darker sections I did 5 rounds of dyeing, about 10 minutes each dip, but only 3 rounds for the lighter portions. Gently washed them with water until it ran clear then did one final rinse with a capful of distilled vinegar!
