Solar dye



When i cook, i usually will be stirring in my dye pans too. These days i have been doing a lot of dyeing and experimenting. I'm trying different plants, mordants and techniques. This is a solar dye technique that i've done with avocado stones and it's the first time. I dont think it will work with every kind of plant, as some dye's do need be treated with a higher temperature. Avocado dye is a perfect dye for a beginner too because it gives colour easily and the colour is long lasting.

Feel free to ask me any dye questions. I'm a beginner too but i love to share my experiences. I have been getting lots of questions on instagram already and it's good to see that there's a natural dye movement going on.

    1. Dankjewel Alet. Ik gebruik eigenlijk alleen ongebleekte katoen en ik gebruik ook graag kaasdoek zoals afgebeeld boven. Groetjes
