Sprout Sage is the yellow-green color, dyed first with a week indigo bath, then over-dyed with apple bark or turmeric.

I switched over from black beans to indigo in the late summer of 2017 and have been slowly converting ALL my blues and greens.  Indigo is light-fast and washes well.  I treat it with two finishing steps after dyeing.  First I soak it in a vinegar-water bath to balance the PH, a standard process.  Next I soak the yarn in Eucalan to soften and condition the yarn.
