Indigo: Dye It, Make It by Nicola Gouldsmith Pdf
Color your world blue. Indigo is one of the colors of the rainbow, as easily recognized as it is fashionable. From its origins as a naturally produced dye, most common in India, to its ubiquitous appearance in blue jeans today, indigo has traveled far and wide. Nicola Gouldsmith shows you how to use indigo to dye fabric in different ways, including dip-dyeing, tie-dyeing, batik, shibori, and arashi, as well as basic plain dyeing. She then shows you how to use the results of your dyeing to make beautiful items to wear, and for the home, such as a tie-dyed t-shirt, a batik wall hanging, and a dip-dyed shawl. With the help of the clear step-by-step instructions for each project, a full section in each chapter explaining the relevant method of dyeing, and a techniques section to explain any sewing or other skills needed, you will soon be able to create your own indigo world.

Indigo Plantations and Science in Colonial India by Prakash Kumar Pdf
Prakash Kumar documents the history of agricultural indigo, exploring the effects of nineteenth-century globalisation on this colonial industry. Charting the indigo culture from the early modern period to the twentieth century, Kumar discusses how knowledge of indigo culture thrived among peasant traditions on the Indian subcontinent in the early modern period and was then developed by Caribbean planters and French naturalists who codified this knowledge into widely disseminated texts. European planters who settled in Bengal with the establishment of British rule in the late eighteenth century drew on this information. From the nineteenth century, indigo culture became more modern, science-based and expert driven, and with the advent of a cheaper, purer synthetic indigo in 1897, indigo science crossed paths with the colonial state's effort to develop a science for agricultural development. Only at the end of the First World War, when the industrial use of synthetic indigo for textile dyeing and printing became almost universal, did the indigo industry's optimism fade away.

Red, White, and Black Make Blue by Andrea Feeser Pdf
Like cotton, indigo has defied its humble origins. Left alone it might have been a regional plant with minimal reach, a localized way of dyeing textiles, paper, and other goods with a bit of blue. But when blue became the most popular color for the textiles that Britain turned out in large quantities in the eighteenth century, the South Carolina indigo that colored most of this cloth became a major component in transatlantic commodity chains. In Red, White, and Black Make Blue, Andrea Feeser tells the stories of all the peoples who made indigo a key part of the colonial South Carolina experience as she explores indigo's relationships to land use, slave labor, textile production and use, sartorial expression, and fortune building. In the eighteenth century, indigo played a central role in the development of South Carolina. The popularity of the color blue among the upper and lower classes ensured a high demand for indigo, and the climate in the region proved sound for its cultivation. Cheap labor by slaves—both black and Native American—made commoditization of indigo possible. And due to land grabs by colonists from the enslaved or expelled indigenous peoples, the expansion into the backcountry made plenty of land available on which to cultivate the crop. Feeser recounts specific histories—uncovered for the first time during her research—of how the Native Americans and African slaves made the success of indigo in South Carolina possible. She also emphasizes the material culture around particular objects, including maps, prints, paintings, and clothing. Red, White, and Black Make Blue is a fraught and compelling history of both exploitation and empowerment, revealing the legacy of a modest plant with an outsized impact.

Indigo by Catherine E. McKinley Pdf
Indigo is the rich, electrifying history of a precious dye: its relationship to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, its profound influence on fashion, and its spiritual significance - all very much alive today. But it is also the story of a personal quest: Catherine McKinley's ancestors include a clan of Scots who wore indigo tartan, several generations of Jewish 'rag traders' and Massachusetts textile factory owners, and African slaves who were traded along the same Saharan routes as indigo. Her journey takes her to nine West African countries and is resplendent with powerful lessons of heritage and history which shape the way she understands her world at home.

Report on the Cultivation and Manufacture of Indigo in Bengal, 1899 (Classic Reprint) by Christopher Rawson Pdf
Excerpt from Report on the Cultivation and Manufacture of Indigo in Bengal, 1899 The nitrogenous matter in the above table is calculated from the percentage of nitrogen found in the samples, on the assumption that it is all of an albuminous character, though there are other forms of nitrogenous bodies present. The only other analysis of indigo plant which I have been able to find is one made by E. C. Schrottky, and which appears in a pamphlet on Indigo and Indigo Manufacture, published in 1879. The results, however, are quite at variance with those of my own. For example, Schrottky found the sun-dried plant to contain per cent. Of woody fibre. The highest result I obtained with leaves was per cent., whilst even the stems taken alone did not contain more than 47% per cent. The total amount of organic matters exclusive of woody fibre in Schrottky's analysis is only 76 per cent. The lowest result which I have obtained was 62 per cent. In leaves and 38 per cent. In stems. Regarding the mineral matter Schrottky found 100 parts of ash to contain as much as per cent. Silica. The highest amount of silica I found was per cent. In leaves. The stems contain much less silica than the leaves. The plant examined by Schrottky was grown near Calcutta; but, according to the analysis quoted, its composition was entirely. Different to that of any sample of indigo plant which I have examined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
