Natural dyes with fruits and vegetables
Filed under: in the kitchen, kids, knitting and crochet
Yarn comes in many beautiful colors, weights and textures. Sometimes, you can go to every separate craft store and still not find the perfect color that you need. whether you are having a difficult moment finding the perfect color, you can dye your own with fruit and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables that stain, such as onion skins, grape juice, and beets construct very pretty dye, and yarn dyeing is a fun and easy craft that kids can help with. Lion sort Yarn has tips and recipes using various fruits and vegetables and wool and cotton yarn. You need stainless steel pots, yarn of course, a timer, tongs to handle the yarn, and of course, a stove. the kids can help with the coloring, but adult supervision is needed around the boiling water.
It is amazing to me how the different yarn produced different color results. I would have loved to see strawberries form the list considering I think the color results would be perfect for making baby blankets for a special new baby girl.
