three bits of ashdip cotton wrapped around three teabags, will leave them for a couple of days
I have found the two books on dyeing I bought several years ago, 'Natuurlijke vezels verven met planten' 2004 (Dyeing natural fibres with plants) and 'Magisch indigoblauw' 2006 (Magical indigoblue) by Hilde Vleugels. After my endeavours above I read a bit about the process of dyeing cotton and linen,\; vegetable fibres require a lot more preparation than I have undertaken, so I have no idea how things will turn out. In future I do want to be more 'scientific' about it and will buy the ingredients Hilde suggests. Gotta start somewhere. |
