In the past I have done some natural dying using onion skins, avocado pits and black walnuts. To see a collage of old posts on different dye methods posted on my blog click HERE.
While perusing Pinterest the other day saw a magnificent photo of dyeing with black beans. And they were beautiful colors. So this post is a historical record for me as well as giving info to my textile loving friends.
There is definitely a whole world of information to discover thru the internet. If only there were more hours in a day and I weren't too lazy. Yet time spent on the internet takes up valuable time as well.
Ben has been walked and he chose to do the short version and get back in the A/C. Glad he did. Now I'm going to veg out and hook more on the Turkey and Tallowberries so that maybe there will be more to show tomorrow.
Stay cool and dry. Or.... IF you need rain hope you get only what you need.

looks interesting, have never done any natural dyeing...I've been thinking of dyeing too...mom and I spent a few days puttering with my wool yarn stash to get it ready for dyeing...when it cools off!
ReplyDeleteI could not get the link to work on your previous post on natural dying. Can you tell me what posts to look at. I am interested in the walnut process. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI like this idea, read by searching sites and it seems you can get different shades by what you add to the water, can't wait to see how yours come out.

Oh that is a great blue! I am not much for dying but that is just beautiful.

ReplyDeleteAre the black beans dried or fresh?
