Dyeing Angora Rabbit Fiber with Indigo

This is the story of a pot of indigo ("instant" variety) that was left to sit for a couple of weeks. Since it looked regenerated (metallic sheen on the surface). I decided to see if I could dye some angora. At first things didn't look too hopeful.
But then once out of the pot and sitting on a screen, color began to develop.
The final blue looks quite nice and once dry it was a lovely shade of denim blue, no crocking and it feels soft and nice.
