Now
that I am on a roll, I am dyeing a lot. I have since tried Raspberries and
Blackberries. The raspberries gave me a very faint purple and the blackberries
gave me a dusty blue.
I
then dyed with some sunflower heads since they are so prolific right now. The
sunflowers gave me a drab green.
I
then thought I would try sunflower seeds and they gave me another tan.
Next
I did Green tea thinking I would get a more green color than Black tea but that
was just silly talk. Another brown!
I
then decided to try and get deeper browns instead of the all the light browns I
have been getting so tried Coffee and was pleasantly surprised.
More
experiments this week!
So exciting! I love dyeing with plants! My experiments are much like yours. I really appreciate the western desert cowl; as soon as I saw it I thought, I might use all those single skeins I experimented natural dyeing on. So thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you like it. The experiments on dyeing was the most fun part of this project. I also had fun choosing the color order. It seems random but there was method to my chaos.
