Making Jeans a story

[digital_denim]

Thought some of you who do make jeans might like this. I can't translate though, you'll have to hope one of the translators on this board will do it.

There are a lot more pages, so again I'll scan more if there are enough people who want it.

so i was doign a quick search online.. and i found these websites.. seems like its a portal for different companies all over the world that manufactures various items.. and it gave me a list of pure indigo,dyes like sulfur black and even denim in yards dyed in pure indigo for sale...put a search on denim fabrics also..

greentea, many people sell natural indigo kits. they will mail you a block of pure natural indigo with which you can make your own vat. then, you can dye whatever you want.

here's a good site:

another alternative, if you are into natural dyes is to grow your own indigo or woad. you can get dyer's woad or indigo seeds online. you can produce your own indigo with your homegrown plants.
