| Dyers greenwood and indigo (green), indigo (blue),
dyers' greenwood (yellow). |
After yarn is submerged in the indigo dyebath,
it has to be exposed to the air for the color to develop. |

The red yarn on the left is dyed with madder.

The dyebath used powdered madder (instead of chips); did this make the
difference?. |
