We did another ecodyeing experiment last weekend, using red onion skins and cloves with a piece of dupion silk and a larger piece of white cotton. We let it stew overnight, and this is how it came out!!!
Oh, we put a rusty piece of metal in as well, that always seems to make a difference!
It's dried now, the cotton's gone quite a bit paler.....
The silk has retained a lot of the colour though - olive green with bits of blue and silver and a good reddish brown! I like that!!
The cotton has some good bits on it, and I think we might give it another dyeing session just with the cloves, see what that does.
It's fun that you can see where the string went, when I tied up the bundle!!!
