Natural dyeing | Dyeing with plant extracts | Plant dyes |Crafternoon Treats | Podcast 52

#naturaldyeing #plantdyes #naturaldyetutorial Welcome to a special edition of the Crafternoon Treats Crochet podcast 😃 This episode is all about natural dyeing using plant extracts made at home. I recorded my natural dye day on April 19th 2018, and I show what happened in the dyepots then reveal the lovely colours of the freshly washed and dried yarn. I used onion skins (red and brown), spinach, daffodil heads (from dead-heading), avocado pits and skins, black turtle beans, tea and cherry bark then experimented with iron and copper salts as modifiers. The results are soft muted colours - but there are a few surprises. If you try out natural dyeing yourself please tag your pics on instagram with the hashtag #naturaldyecrafternoon so I can see your results too! Have fun!
