Dyeing Day
We picked up red onions, beeets and grapes
Added vinegar and cream of tartar to boiling water and poured over the onion skins and other fruits and veggies.
Let steep
put yarn in.
My yarn turned a dirt brown. I was not impressed so we boiled some more water, put some water and wiltons cake dyes in jars and dyed that way.
Yarn came out a very pretty orange, blue and turquoise but there are some (or at least one) Muddy spot.
Next time i will try making the “tea” and steeping it for 24 hours as directed by my natural dyeing books.
I ant to play more with cake dyes!!!
