#natural plant dyeing

[simply-sithel]

Went camping recently amongst the redwoods at Pomo Canyon. Hiked from campsite to beach one day and played the stone game. Excellent weather. Did some dying with blackberry vines in my cast iron Dutch oven. Upped my campfire cooking game (tinfoil!!) and discovered how excellent squeeze mayo is on everything-- but especially the asparagus.

#camping #camping crafts #natural plant dyeing #stone game #hiking #my phone's camera is dying and it's like I'm loosing my eyesight -- my memories at least are being affected it #turns out I REALLY LIKE taking photos of things and even if I don't post them- having them enriches my life & memory #(but jfc I don't want to buy a new phone... 😩)

Pland dyeing some SW Merino with black hollyhock flowers

Small test that marinated in the cold dye bath for 1 minute

Yarn was mordanted on 24. November and since then was kept damp

(on the logwood yarn because I want to weave them together)

cotton samples dyed with white dead-nettle (lamium album) !! cooler toned fabrics are just dead-nettle, the warmer brownish scraps had been pre-dyed yellow with pomegranate rinds

this was a very small experiment to confirm whether dead-nettles yielded dye as their stinging cousins 🌿 the extraction process lasted two days and 3 steepings (although i believe two steepings would've been enough!)

my partner said these look a bit like bog finds :'^) love that comparison

One of the many things I’m surprised Anet has never released: a ‘Sylvan’ set of themed mount skins like the Inquest Exosuit, Branded, and Shiverpeaks ones, but plant-themed so they can resemble the sylvari, nightmare court, or mordrem depending on what dyes you use.

#GW2 #Guild Wars 2 #full disclosure i'd be one of the first to buy it #i'm making sylvari again and it's making me sad i have no mounts to match #let me give them plant companions!! #there's not even a vinetooth MINI. criminal #(vinetooth faolain does not count i want a normal vinetooth) #there's literally 2 and both are for the jackal (and primal spirit only counts if you squint) #and the mordrem alpha can't exactly pass for anything other than a mordrem #anet why are you passing up guaranteed money. there's so MANY sylvari mains #if anything it's the shiverpeaks ones i NEVER see anyone use literally ever #which is a shame because they're very cool #the inquest and branded ones i Do see because you can do a lot with them #inquest can work as any kind of tech (including now jade tech with the right dyes) #and the branded ones can be icebrood too or just look really dang cool #plant ones would work not just for mordrem. sylvari. and nightmare. but druids and nature magic too #heck you could even use them for theming with echovald wilds too #so i feel like you'd see them a Lot if they ever released something like this #... is that why. does Anet fear the rise of plant mount supremacy #oh well guess we'll probably never know lmao #my posts

More handspun linen blanket work. Feels super nice, even though theres lots of, idk what it would be called but bits of undesirable vm that ought to have been threshed out. When im finished ill give it multiple good beatings and thrashings that should soften it up, and then im hoping to dye it with some oregon grapes.

I actually have a whole ton of dyestuff ive been collecting in the freezer that i need to turn into dye, bc im moving very soon and i dont want to be bringing bags of frozen berries and pits and peels with me.

Also gonna go harvest this in a minute--its a horrifically overgrown patch of oregano, and i read a few days ago that you can get a dark, almost black dye out of the dried stems. And i dont even like oregano as a spice, so... just gonna get the stems.

#not sure what im gonna do about all my plants in the ground.... #digging up the sorrel and the thyme for sure #the lavender might just be too big and the bees love it so much #so i might have to leave it which depresses me deeply #whoever lives here next can have the fuckin oregano tho. my god. grew like mad #knitting #handspun yarn #gardening #natural dyeing #linen #flax spinning

If you work with felt or wool or any other natural fibres, you may be wondering how you can dye them without introducing chemicals and difficult processes. Well, look no further than SOLAR DYEING!

Process:

- Pretreat fibre (aka mordant) with alum to make the color stick

- Put wet fibres in a sealable glass jar with fresh or dried plant material

- Leave in the sun for 2-3 weeks (depending on how much sun your jars get you can go shorter or longer!)

- Rinse out your fibres

Check out the video to see these plants in action:

- Marigold

- Red Clover

- Golden Rod

- Hibiscus

- Purple Loosestrife

- Curly Dock

- Red Hopi Amaranth

- Stinging Nettle

The results may just surprise you...!

Murder baby quilt. Finished & sent back in June to one of the few that I imagined could appreciate it. On one hand-- naturally dyed fabrics! Soft earth tones! On the other hand-- so many Caucasian skin tones! Fleshy little patches with bits of ‘sinew’ (undyed fabric) and a rich, meaty red backing! 

While I’ve a mountain of dyed fabric from earlier loquat investigations, this quilt is entirely done with a fresh batch of leaves from a friend’s yard (the more friend connections one can incorporate into a project, the better!). Really enjoyed how my misc dyed skirt blended with/matched the top as I worked on it.

It was all fun and games till I tried to wash the damn thing-- worst experience washing a work to date. It bled, it stained, it took two days to dry. Apparently there’s a reason one should confine themselves to cotton for baby quilts....

#wet quilt looked extra meaty #will have post later about dye process #I tried so hard to be technical about it... wrote notes and everything.... which I then lost 🙄 #natural plant dyeing #natural dye #Baby Quilt #quilt #murder quilt #animated

gloomy saturday // a walk in the woods + a class on extracting & painting with plant-derived dyes 🌿

#diary #should I start doing weekly journal entries proper? I love seeing other folks’ posts about their week #I’m just boring and dunno what all I’d post about #anyway #natural dyes #plants #fibers

my first hand-dyed garment ☀️ this was an old white zara skirt that was forgotten in my mum's closet ! pulled the hem up a bit, changed the closure from a zipper to buttons & dyed it bright beautiful yellow with pomegranate rinds :^)

the leftover fabric was turned into ribbons for medieval hair taping (very nice to have matching ribbons!) and some scraps used for overdyeing with other plants at a later time

photos are from the sweet @magpieinavest after a wonderful day in their gran's garden 💛

#this was soooo fun to do and makes me want to dye everything yellow !! #plant dye #natural dyes #maker's diary #also my first upcycled garment i think? #now omw to answer messages 🕯 its been a struggle lately lol

From fleece to knit.

The base fibre is Scottish Blackface/mystery sheep, mixed with 25% merino to make it less coarse. Spun 2ply, it came out to 114g. It was then mordanted with alum, dyed with elder tree leaves and downspun to remove some of the excess twist.

I tried to knit a glove, but I’m going to pull it out and knit a pair of socks instead.

Winter is a slow season for me. Short days and darkness and sculptural dead garden plants.

However, it is a good time to appreciate the crispness of cold air, the snowflakes, beautiful browns and greens and grays, and the little things that are still alive.

Oyster mushrooms have been a great find down by some dead trees on our property. It really makes me appreciate letting things be, not always having to shape them to their "best." If the dead things weren't left we wouldn't have mushrooms and places for bees to hibernate and seeds for birds to eat. Sometimes people don't want to consider that their ideas of right or beauty could be hurting other living creatures.

...On a lighter note! The beard lichen should be an interesting thing to try natural dyeing with, but alas I do not have the ammonia needed at hand. Will post results when I do though!
