Dithionite. Can I use Dithionite instead of Spectralite? How should I use Dithionite?
Sodium dithionite is widely used in Europe as a safe alternative to spectralite for chemical dyeing with woad & indigo. You can substitute sodium dithionite where spectralite is mentioned in the text but you will need to double the quantities because sodium dithionite is not as strong. More about dithionite here.
