Hi!
Janis here.
About 2 years ago, my first efforts at eco-dyeing were
pretty dismal. Then I got sidetracked
and not terribly motivated to give it another try, although, I could see that others
were having much more success than I had so I kept an eye out for good
instruction. Finally I found eco-dyeing
paydirt!
Elena Ulyanova wrote: “My way of contact dye extraction I
compare to espresso coffee making: fast, hot, full-flavoured.” Believe it!
All I had was a handful of leaves I had tucked away in the
fall and a little bit of seaweed and I was motivated enough to give it a try in
the middle of our New England Winter of Snow.
Still not as if I was rich with natural ingredients but I was doing a
happy dance and I’m so looking forward to new growth and sunshine! Here’s what happened with almost nothing!
I have about a dozen more bottles saved up cannot wait to go
for it!
