Well, the Dye Everything Purple gathering went very well, except for the one bucket of Moss Green I attempted which seems to have turned a favorite hoodie into an awful khaki (will know more when it comes out of the wash).
Curious if anyone knows much about #DharmaTrading company #procion dyes and could help me diagnosis a couple issues? One is the Mosstrosity Hoodie, and the other is a cotton canvas hat that failed to take #dye well. Not sure why?

Or are you just curious to see how I did it? 🥰
I'll tell you about it in the video in the link 👇🏻

Weeded the #dye #garden. The last woad has gone to seed; saved a bunch for later.
The madder is rioting enthusiastically. I may save some seed from that as well. I am thinking of digging up a bit in the fall, to see how it’s doing.
The weld that I’m letting go to seed is drying out nicely. I already harvested some, and there are cute wavy-leaved rosettes for next year. Its ancestors came from @tstooth
I left the dyer’s chamomile for the bees this year.

@Bjorntall Looking forward to more of the 🧵! & hoping perhaps to learn more about the original #dyes? I'm wondering if each #dye colour was locally available, or imported?
#cochineal bugs were the main source of red dye back in Colonial times. "The Redcoats Are Coming" were really "guys in coats dyed in cactus bugs" are coming. #cactus #dye https://research.colonialwilliamsburg.org/foundation/journal/summer12/dye.cfm

It's a beautiful #summer day today. #Elderflowers #Chicory
Today I'm going to stay inside & beat the heat until the evening (I need to harvest more garlic).
I will be forced to do house cleaning, but I also have goals to make:
- Mulberry leaf #dye
- Elderflower champagne
- #Homemade mayo
- Ladyfingers
(Reader, I might do 1 of these!😂)

#Carmine, also called #cochineal, is a pigment of a bright-red color obtained from the aluminium complex derived from carminic acid.
Synthetic carminic acid is complex to produce. Therefore, natural cochineal carmine is predominant on the market.
To prepare carmine, powdered scale insect bodies are boiled in an ammonia or sodium carbonate solution. #Gelatin may be added to modify the precipitation.
To obtain 1 pound of red dye, one needs 70,000 cochineal bugs.

So before I put time,effort, hope and other limited resources into the project, is anyone to tell me before I found out the hard way if you can still #naturalDye with blackened walnut husks?

Sometimes "natural" means made out of bugs (better that than some petroleum product) 🙂

At age 72, Mary Delany (1700-1788) devoted herself to her art practice, taking up a form of #decoupage to create an exquisite #collection of #botanical collages from dyed and cut #paper. #flowers #collage #dye #botany

Microscopes are so much more fun than telescopes. Microscopes let you explore any time of day, stay warm and mosquito-free, and find completely new surprises each time. Telescopes are the opposite of all those things.
Here's a picture of some crystallized saffranin #dye with a tiny bit of dead skin. I think it looks kind of like a rose on a bed of thorns.

#Ecoprinting is a technique that transfers the natural pigments of #flowers and #plants onto #cloth and #paper. France-based #designer and natural #dye #crafter Ceilidh Chaplin shares her first foray into this art form in this breezy #video.
