Herein we report the optimization of the natural dyeing conditions for wool with indigo extracted from the Indigofera plant grown in the south - east of Morocco. We are interested in the evaluation of the reduction power of argan’s pulp, the variation of the alkaline pH using natural calcium hydroxide and the dyeing duration. Based on spectroscopic analysis, we came to establish an optimal recipe that was easily reproduced.
