NATURAL DYEING | REBECCA DESNOS on Instagram: "Dyeing with nettles 🌿 Maybe a weed to some people, but an incredibly useful herb to the rest of us 😍 Nettles not only make delicious and nourishing tea, but they produce beautiful grey/green shades in the dye pot too. You’ve probably heard me talk about this before, but my number one tip for pretty much all dye plants is to allow them to soak in the dye for longer than you might first think. The colour will continue to change and darken as it oxidises. Heat gently (never boil) then turn off the heat, leave the lid on and allow the plants to soak in the dye over night. Observe as the dye darkens and reheat if you like, then leave to soak for longer. Practice this for different plants and trust your own judgement for making dyes ✨ I compa Natural Green Dyes For Fabric, Mordant For Natural Dye, Desire Paths, Natural Green Dye, Plant Dyeing, Dye Garden, Dye Plants, Eco Dyeing Fabric, Leaf Dyeing
