I have a book written by Rita Buchanan called "A Dyer's Garden".
She says that she uses the leaves of the plants that dye in the blue
color ranges (woad, indigo, etc.) immediately; that the leaves can't
be stored in the freezer like you can other dye plants or it reduces
their dying abilities. I was wondering if storing the indigo powder
(that I bought here) in the freezer would reduce the powders ability
to dye? I did read something more specifically about this (as
applies to freezing the leaves of indigo type plants) on the
internet when I was researching the subject of dyes but now I can't
find it.
