Plant Dyeing Starter Kit - Silk Bandana & Dye Plants

This dyeing kit is a curated set of 3 different dye plants to showcase the main properties of botanical colours. You will learn about extracting plant dyes, modifying them, and dyeing fabric. Every kit contains a piece of pre-mordanted organic cotton for you to run tests on and a pre-mordanted bandana for the main project - choose between organic cotton voile and hemmed silk. Cut small pieces of the test fabric and experiment with three different dyes: madder, chamomile, and hollyhock. Once you get familiar with the techniques, dye a full piece with plants of your choice. You can use the dyed samples for small sewing projects or patch them together for a bigger piece. The kit includes printed instructions with photos. I will help you make 9 unique colours out of just 3 dye plants, as well as give ideas for expanding the range of colours even further.
