Lion Brand Yarn has come up with a great idea for dying textiles, using only natural ingredients. These edible dyes, made from fruit and veg from your kitchen, will give brilliant colour to cotton and wool yarns.
In the tutorial, all ingredients used are edible, combined with boiling water and (in some cases) salt. So if you're looking for some new colours to experiment with, why not get down to your local farmers' market and mix your own? You'll find instructions on using turmeric to make vivid yellow shades, grape juice to make purples and blues, and beets for hot pinks.[via Worsted Witch]
