Instead of fresh plants, you can also try to use dried ones and dye the yarn using the same method I'm describing on this blog: Fermented herbal dyes
Here I used dried Sulfur Cosmos flowers (Cosmos sulphureus) harvested last year
The yarn is Orenburg kidsilk mohair lace
I just love the colour (yummy !). Thank you for the tip. Bisous ensoleillés (c'est enfin l'été).
ReplyDeleteThe colour is absolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWe are going away on holiday in a week, and when we come back I will start up my first dye container. I'm very curious and I can't wait to try :)
O wat een prachtige kleur!!
ReplyDeleteMaar jammer genoeg heb ik alleen roze Cosmos staan.
