Kitchen Scraps Natural Dyeing

I am so excited and full of curious anticipation to start my “kitchen scraps” dyeing. I can already imagine the possibilities when using the fibers together with my ceramic pots.

I’ve prepared two skeins of wool yarn by washing any residues out with a warm water and dish soap bath. As you can see, they are divided into small wrapped bundles so I can create samples of many different “scraps”. Next step today will be to gather enough scraps to create a dye bath.  To start with, I have onion skins and black beans. “Oh, the places you’ll go!!” Dr Seus.
