In her small-batch, fibre-dyeing business, Tzindigo (Tz + Indigo), she uses Shibori-resist techniques to create patterns on cotton and linen scarves and dyes them, along with rescued linen clothing and vintage textiles, in organic Indigo vats. Tzigane also grows a small plot of Japanese Indigo, Persicaria tinctoria, in her garden and uses the fresh leaves to direct dye a limited number of silk scarves and merino wool pieces.
