I'm seeing some tutorials use Sodium Hydrosulfite and soda ash for jacquard pre-reduced indigo, while others recommend the 1-2-3 method with calcium hydroxide and fructose.

Which one is the best for reliable results and ease of use?

I remember when their little tins were so awesome. Super awkward packaging, the stuff would get everywhere but cheap and so much color. Just add a lot of salt.

The products they have now just don't seem to cling to the fabric. The black and blue ones for washing machine use in the soluble packaging are the worst- they seem intended only the fresh up the color of an already dyed garment. Start with a white cotton fabric, and end up with a dreary purple. Did they change the mordant or something?

It will stick to everything except fabric so the washing machine will never be clean again. How is this even allowed?

Sadly they still have most of the European market. Does anyone know about something better? I've got a lot of linnen to dye in dark colors... Thanks!

The investigation into the gang of thieves who violently robbed visitors of Tomorrowland of luxury watches last summer has been closed without any results. No suspects could be identified. One of the victims was Dries Deferm, mayor of the Limburg municipality of Nieuwerkerken.

“I was unfortunately the victim of senseless violence on Sunday evening,” Deferm wrote on Facebook last summer, after a visit to Tomorrowland. "On the way back, on foot, two friends and I were attacked and robbed for no reason. I was repeatedly beaten, became unconscious and had to go to the hospital for treatment. There I was sewn in several places. It was also determined that a vertebra in my neck was cracked."

Expensive Rolexes

In addition to the mayor of Nieuwerkerken, at least seven other festival goers were violently robbed. The perpetrators targeted luxury watches. They targeted visitors with expensive brands such as Rolex, Tudor and Hublot on their wrist. The gang even threatened several victims with a knife and pepper spray. The facts took place outside the festival site, on the way back to the car parks and the buses.

Northern French gang?

In February of this year, Deferm already said that it was a gang from probably Northern France, but that the perpetrators had never been found. "We were there by taxi, with a group of friends. We had had a few drinks and were therefore probably easy prey. I was the last to walk and was attacked from behind," Deferm said at the time.

He ended up only staying home for five days after the incident. "I didn't want to show myself in public with my damaged face. Then I just went back to work. I tried to quickly turn the switch. And if I can, I will go to Tomorrowland again this year."
