I highly recommend India Flint's book 'eco colour' as she has loads of suggestions and information on a range of dye plants and ways of using them. I found it very readable as well as being a useful reference. I'm looking forward to doing lots of dye experimenting this year!Delicate Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266851027708944170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206353825939009872.post-30520791690035295872017-01-18T10:28:39.223+00:002017-01-18T10:28:39.223+00:00Its always worth soaking non protein fibres in soy...Its always worth soaking non protein fibres in soy milk or another protein as the protein helps the colour to adhere. I would also suggest not washing the fabric afterwards for at least a week, to give the colour a real change of soaking in.<br />If buying fabric I buy ready to dye fabric from Whaleys. I must say I haven't had much luck with avocado skins either. Rebecca's book is very good.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300029654181323351noreply@blogger.com
