NATURAL DYEING DAY.... Way back in March this year we had a Vegetarian Platter of Dyeing workshop run by Mary Hawkins, one of the Derbyshire Guild members. We used red and brown onion skins, Beetroot and Red Cabbage to make these lovely colours. I am sad to say, to date, my lovely coloured yarns you see here have now faded some what. This is because the yarn I used was not mordanted. At the time I thought I was using mordanted yarn, but then when I got home from the workshop I found I had taken the wrong bag of yarn with me. Oh well, better luck next time.
