In the late 1600's, the major source of indigo was the French West Indies, where large crops of indigofera was grown and harvested just before the plant bloomed. Once picked, the plant was processed in vats where it was water filtered, then dried into cakes for export. | Excellent Lightfastness, Transparent, Non-granulating, Medium staining | PB 60, PBk 6 | Conforms to ASTM D4236
