Description
Natural Hibiscus Flowers for dying plant or animal fibers. These Hibiscus flowers are bright red when harvested and yield a range of red coloring. Combinations of red and gray can be manipulated by the use of higher pH (vinegar, for one) in the dye bath.
These all-natural plant dyes are sustainably grown on a small farm in the heart of the Ozarks. Some of these dyes are historic, used for hundreds of years by many cultures. Others are experimental, ones we have used in our dye kitchen and would like to share.
Learning as much as possible about individual dyes and variations of preparation of dye materials is recommended. We hope you enjoy using these natural dyes as much as we have.
When measuring ingredients, use approximately one half to one part dye material to one part fiber by weight. Dye materials can sometimes be steeped several times to create weaker dye baths, resulting in different hues from the same dye materials. Exhaust baths can also be used to increase usage of the natural dyes.
