Use these dried flowers to create a dye bath for any natural fiber.
10gm / .4oz dried flowers will dye 2 oz. of fiber an intense shade. For lighter colors, either use more fiber or less flowers in your dye bath.
As you can see, the color of the flower is not always representative of the pigment hiding within!
In the second photo you can see an idea of the color on different fibers with an Alum mordant. Of course, your water pH and mineral content may shift the colors. (Also your monitor may show a slightly different shade than mine!)
Simmer flowers in enough water to generously cover your fiber for about 30 minutes. Strain out flowers and add mordanted fiber and simmer until the color you want is reached. It is a concentrated dye and there will probably be enough pigment left in the bath to dye more fiber a lighter color.
I grew and harvested these flowers in my garden in Oakland, California.
