Natural dying is the process of using different plants and herbs to color fabrics. All the dye that we had that day, we could essentially drink with no harm.

The process goes as thus:
|
First they gave us white handkerchiefs and two sets of gloves. |
|
My piece of cloth before. |
|
Next, heat the dye solution and add the fabric. |
|
Let the fabric soak and add some salt solution to make the color stick. |
|
Next rinse and massage the cloth with your hands. |
|
Finished product! Dyed with mugwart! |
Here's a video of part of the process. As always, the lovely videos are credit of Anne's amazing camera and camera skills.
