Question

why did cloth direct prefer Indigo as dye
state two reasons​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

It is because when a submerged fabric is removed from the dyebath, the indigo quickly combines with oxygen in the air and reverts to its insoluble form. When it first became widely available in Europe in the sixteenth century, European dyers and printers struggled with indigo because of this distinctive property. It was also a toxic substance that, by requiring many chemical processes, had many opportunities to injure many workers.
