Have you done purple onion skins yet? I am working on collecting them now but it's taking forever. lol

Have you ever tried dyeing with butterfly pea flower? I've only been able to find a couple of articles on dying with it and they've not been very detailed.

That's a lovely colour!

I think it falls in to a pastel mint from what I see on camera. Great job.

I love it! You just never completely know how naturally dyed items will turn out. Do marigolds next. I presently have carrot tops sitting next to me on the kitchen counter. That's my next dye bath.

Such a lovely smokey, ashy grey-green! Gorgeous! I'm actually really interested to know what happens when you complete the same process again on the same yarn; how much does it deepen? How deep can we get? I think that would be a cool experiment/mini-series. "How deep does the natural dye rabbit hole go???"

it came out such a beautiful dusty blue shade. i love it.

You’ll get a moody purple black with rusty metal and black tea bags

This is super cool, good video! Thank you

Just lovely, one of my favourite colours

Really cool colors ❤❤❤

So pretty! I see green!

Can't wait to try this! You're such a beautiful person 💛

Please do MARIGOLD DYE!! I went back and watched your marigold dye from a couple years ago. I want to do a solar dye with marigolds!

Beautiful color Laura!

Hi Laura! One question, have you tried how fast the dye is, as in how strong does it hold and will it fade in sunlight and/or in the wash? Thank you for the video!

If you've dyed with beans before, can you say how fixed the colour is, or "fugitive"? Thanks for posting these experiments!

i think maybe you might have gotten darker results if you'd left the iron mordant on before dying without rinsing, and only rinsed after dying

I'd be interested in seeing what colour you get with only an alum mordant and no iron.

Can you do a charcoal experiment

Nice vid! Does it work on cotton when you wash it?

Hey does the color remain intact with the yarn even after several washes, or does it get washed off?

it fades with sunlight more than with washing. I have some that is incorporated into a sweater that has been washed and loved for years and is still going strong. I used Alum to mordant the wool, and so far so good! The underside of the sleeves are definitely more bright and saturated though, so sunlight fades them

What I would like to see is what happens if you repeat the process on the dyed yarn, or if you make up a batch with 2 or 3 times as much black beans. Does it come up darker or is this the limit to it?

I got a green color like that using only black beans on alum mordanted yarn and then after soaking for several days I added a little baking soda to the dye water and it turned from grey- blue to green. Do you think with the acorns it will be less fugitive? I haven't exposed my yarn to much light to test this yet.

Acorns are way less fugitive because they are super high in tannins. So they should give a nice brown that is wash and lightfast. Also you can use the acorn leftovers to make a tannin bath to use as a premordanted for future dye pots. ☺️

Unless you have a specific, rare genetic condition, ingesting a small amount of iron rust isnt particularly harmful, so that mordant probably isn't particularly toxic.
