So I was trying to dye some cross stitch fabric with natural sources this morning.
tea, dried marigold leaves, onion shells and walnut the results are promising: Although the marigold had very little effect. Next time I'll try boiling it on the stove, see if that works better.
You got a darker colour with the tea than we did when we used it last year - I think the tights we were emergency dying were not very colour absorbent :)
4 opmerkingen:
heb je het wel eerst gebeitst?
@ Kees: neuh.. gewoon mengsel gemaakt, lapjes erin en gewacht... :D
door het beitsen gaan de haarschubben openstaan waardoor de verf beter houdt. met plantaardige verven moet je bijna altijd vooraf beitsen.
