natural pink

I just updated the shop with beautiful (if I may say so) cotton gauze scarves, naturally dyed with avocado skins. You can see them all here in the shop.

Looking forward to carrying these lovely shades of natural pinks in the shop all through the year !

    You are an inspiration... I'm wanting to have a go at natural dyeing. I love avocados and rather fancy starting with those.... what else do I need to use to make the cloth fast.
    I have some natural flax fabric to use...

      Thank you ! You first need to mordant your fabric, and you can use soy milk for that. Have fun !

    So, so beautiful. You always inspire me to investigate new natural ingredients to use in my own dye experiments!

    That is such a beautiful colour! It's amazing to think it comes from avocado skins. Thanks for the inspiration - always enjoy your blog :)

    This colour is really wonderful! I'm curious if you had to use quite a lot of skins to achieve this depth? I tried dyeing with avocado skins once and ended up with a very pale colour, I assume that I didn't use enough.
    Also have you ever tried avocado pits?

      Thank you ! Yes, I did use a bunch of them, but we're 5 at home, so each time we eat avocadoes, it's at least 5 at the same time ! I have never tried pits, but it's on my list ! :)

    that is a nice pink! I have tried myself in the past but the pink I obtained wasn't by far so striking. I've just alum as mordant, I need to try the soya milk instead.
    thanks for posting
