Calcium hydroxide, aka slaked lime or pickling lime, is used as a base for setting up a four ingredient dried leaf organic indigo vat, or a three ingredient organic 1-2-3 indigo vat with pigment. It is also used to recalibrate an already established vat.
To set up a dried leaf organic indigo vat you will need 1 part potassium carbonate, 1 part fructose, 2 parts calcium hydroxide, and 4 parts dried indigo leaves all of which can be found in my shop.
