I once went through a 'plant dyeing' phase (lots of other phases, too) where I would jump out of the car at a moment's notice to gather something along the road thinking "I wonder what color that makes?". No need to be intimidated, you can try it with eggs, wool, yarn, silk, basketry materials. You really don't even have to use a mordant. Or you can be super organized and catalog your results: no mordant, with alum, with iron, etc. on small samples of yarn or silk so that you can try lots of things without having used up your precious materials. As simple as making tea---and you can also use regular herbal or black tea bags.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167809184876303004.post-67038260339171378982011-08-11T12:04:09.198-05:002011-08-11T12:04:09.198-05:00Plant dyeing is a little bit intimidating indeed, ...Plant dyeing is a little bit intimidating indeed, but the thought of my own sheep and hand spun, plant dyed yarn would be my dream:)The Sitting Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951290466517626848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167809184876303004.post-67685993563198983892011-08-11T11:56:36.881-05:002011-08-11T11:56:36.881-05:00that book looks beautiful. i am not sure i am rea...that book looks beautiful. i am not sure i am ready to hand dye yet, but am dreaming of a homestead that includes sheep for just such things...<br /><br />:)<br />jenwww.OhThePlacesWellRoll.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032370263681046019noreply@blogger.com
