Today I dyed Cotton yarn with things I found it my house. I used beet juice, blackberries, merrigolds, Iron Oxide, Blue pen ink (red cabbage and vinegar works but I didn't have any red cabbage so... yea), and paprika. Here are some pictures of what I did. It was messy so be prepared for some clean up

if you try it.

So that's that, it was fun. I'm hoping to make some green tomorrow and do something with red cabbage.
