It plays a key role in creating the alkaline conditions needed for certain dyes to develop properly and for pigments to become soluble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommonly used in indigo vats, lime helps maintain the correct pH balance, allowing the dye to remain active and produce consistent, strong colour. It is also used in other natural dye processes where careful control of alkalinity is required. This fine-grade powder dissolves easily in water, forming a stable solution that can be used reliably in both studio and workshop settings. Its consistent performance makes it a dependable choice for dyers working with traditional or modern natural dye techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaises and maintains alkalinity in dye baths and vats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssential for indigo dye preparation and maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports colour development and pigment solubility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to mix and provides stable, consistent results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndigo vat preparation and maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural dye processes requiring pH control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextile studios, workshops and laboratory use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e85% pure Calcium Hydroxide in fine powder form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces ideal alkaline pH for indigo vat dyeing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks as a neutralising or scouring agent in textile prep.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDissolves easily in warm water without clumping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypical usage: 5–10 g per litre for vat creation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kraftkolour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51912859910408,"sku":"L.ND.HYLIME","price":5.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/2345\/3704\/files\/mordant.hydratedlime1.jpg?v=1773836125","url":"https:\/\/winghamwoolwork.co.uk\/products\/mordant-hydrated-lime","provider":"Wingham Wool","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
