thought I would show you my latest experiment. lol
I made kool-aid dyes fixed with vinegar as the mordant.
Then I leave them out in the sun for the day. Hopefully I will get some nice colors going.
I have a plan to make some seriously colorful socks, mitts and hats.
**btw I have no idea how to resize these pics so sorry if they are so large. :gaah:
but enjoy! Anyone else do dyeing??? My next thing I want to try is unbleached muslim with kool-aid colors and or food colors and make a bunch of fat quarters for a quilt.
I am currently gathering wild flowers, roots and barks to make natural dyes but need to keep gathering before I can show you all that.
