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!
