Rinsing

Rinsing the onion & iron dyed piece of old tablecloth. Some of the parts that were yellow upon unwrapping turned into lovely shades of rotten green when they got in direct contact with air. A rinse in vinegar didn't alter the colours much.

Bundle is such a stupid word, is there a better one? The ferns didn't contribute much but onion skins and iron pieces were a great success, as always. The fabric is rolled open after letting it sit overnight or at least for five or six hours or so.

Onion

Dyeing cotton yarn with onion skins; by far the easiest method of natural dyeing, and the one I had never tried before. With wool yarn it produced everything between deep orange and golden yellow, and cotton yarn which got the rest of the bath turned out yellow - pale yellow.

1st of June. Getting in touch with contact dyeing / eco printing a la India Flint. In the end it was easier to discard the sticks and just wrap the fabrics onto themselves. Also completely ignored the zen aspect of it and instead jumped on the bundles etc.
