The dyer’s walk

Three yards within walking distance of each other, all doing the same thing differently. You will leave with indigo under your nails for about a week.

The stops

1. The indigo vats, and how you tell a live one from a dead one

2. The bark and root yard, for everything that is not blue

3. The drying line, which is the photograph everyone takes

Wear

Nothing you love. The dye does not come out.
