The cotton after it is dyed with a sample of undyed to show the contrast
I found a really soft cotton blouse in a charity shop a while back and decided to buy it to unravel and knit myself a summer shawl with. When I can home and had gone through all the work of unraveling it I decided that the colour was not at all for me. So when I did natural dyeing experiments with my friend Cecile in April I decided to throw it into the yellow onion dye (which we had loads of).
If you want details on how we did it have a look at Cecile's post.
If you want to see the full story and more pictures have a look at my blog.
take care,
Eddie
