More eco dyeing!

We had a big piece of white cotton and a red onion and a red cabbage so we decided to try another dye batch.  We cut up the onion and cabbage and wrapped it up in the cotton and tied it up with string.

Then we put it in a big pan of water and heated it up.  Boiled it for a bit and then let it stand overnight.

This morning we put the cotton in the bathtub to open it up.......

It's stripey!!!!

That's kind of interesting!

It's an olive green with purpley tinged stripes in between and some red splotches!!!

Coo...!!
