More fun with natural dyes
The pot on the left shows my cotton tape and interlining being mordanted ready to be dyed. The pot on the right is the purple feathery rush head dye bath, gorgeous isn't it! It made the most delicious lime green.
Sorry about the quality of this picture but my camera wouldn't do the colour justice so this pic comes off a phone.
On the left is the madder root that has been soaking in this cotton bag and to the right is the fleece we dyed with it, yes that fabulous tangerine in the colander above the saucepan is fleece!!!
The darker orange was from the first use of the dye bath and the lighter from the second use, aren't they delicious?! All I have to do now is make some work with them!
