Natural Fabric Dyes

While I’m on a fabric dyeing kick, I thought it would be fun to share this great video on using foods and spices to dye fabric.

I once dyed some raw mohair (from my own goats) using onions.  It produces the most gorgeous deep golden yellow!  Unfortunately, it smells incredible…

And not incredible in a good way!

I’m not sure if it was just the combination of goat and onion, but I’d highly recommend dyeing outside, or in a well-ventilated area.  I just don’t think my family appreciated the odor…

The fiber was amazing to work with though!
