I have been trying a variety
of natural dyes in the past couple days and they are beautiful. My fears that
everything would be brown is unfounded (although I do have a few beautiful tans
and browns).
I first tried sage from my
garden. I got the most wonderful light green.
Next I tried some flower
buds from my prodigious Virginia Creeper and got one of the great browns.
I wanted more colors so next
I tried Paprika. I got a very faint reddish brown color but wasn’t very
impressed.
While I was in my spice
cupboard, I dyed with some Turmeric and WOW! The yellow is vibrant and intense!
I am having fun
experimenting with the different dyes and can’t wait to try something else from
my kitchen.
