Well, gearing up for another season of processing! So, why not do some preliminary research and indirubin extraction? Success! Works best on silk and wool…perfecting extraction methods for both indigo and indirubin it never ends this elusive color…will see how the samples fare in the UV…just for fun I did an ethanol extraction and put some silk in that…green!
