planning on dyeing a bunch of white yarn in my stash with the onion skins I saved from the local farm last year, then knitting a vest out of it...planning even further ahead to try & dye yarn with some of their beets & marigolds too later this year... I think it'd be really cute to have an ongoing 'farm vest' project >:^)
#my parameters for natural dyeing are 1) is everything involved food safe 2) can i do it in my home#bcuz i am going to use our lobster pot & nobody is getting poisoned on my watch#onion skins can be used by themselves & you can use beets with just plain vinegar#marigolds i have to research more though. if the color needs an additive to stick that isn't safe & edible then it'll be a no go#not having any FUMES in the house#this'll be so fuuuun yayyy#figuring out where to dry yarn will be less fun but that's for robin in a week or two to figure out#dial p for post#my knitting
