So I took this class because I suck at indigo dyeing. The teacher suggested that Saxon Blue was done this way. Take your first rinse water from cleaning your fleece and let it ferment over the summer. Rub your rock of indigo beneath the surface to get it into soln. You don't want to know what this smells like. We'll see what the results are before long.

The last step of the filtration process is to pass hydrolysate through a 0.22 um (micron) filter to ensure that it is sterile. This particular method is quite expensive, but cheaper alternatives are soon to replace them.
