A few months ago I had a go at Silk Dying with natural herbs like marigold, chamomile and tumeric...
At Greenwich Steiner School's kitchens stirring the silk in the infusions, stirring stirring the pot for at least 1/2 hour or more!
Checking the colour, then dipping in more silk scarves...we used the same pot for different batches of scarves and the result was always a different shade...
when silk scarves were wet we ironed them and then put them on the clothes horse to finish drying
pretty golden colours...
I couldn't resist wearing one!
A lovely shade of mellow yellow!
I enjoyed this workshop so much I am planning to do more dying soon!
Waiting for the spring flowers now....
Wake up,wake up all you little childrenSunlight, sky bright,Spring is coming now.Gusty murch winds blowing,Daffodils a-blowing,Birds sing, bells ring,There's blossom on the bough.
