I
have been dyeing a lot! Yellow onion skins gave me a great yellow (no
surprise), but Red onion skins gave me a deep green (big surprise).

I
then tried the cabbages. Red cabbage yielded a steely gray/blue but green
cabbage was a dud – a creamy white that is the exact color that I had before I
dyed.
Why
stop at cabbage? I next did spinach and got a wonderful green, one of my favorites!
My
sister dyed with some woods a few years ago so I am going to see if she still
has any of the dye stuff and try dyeing with wood. Stay tuned!
