Thank you very much. I will do with carded wool. Love the color you achieved. I have dyed wool yarn for dolls hair with onion skin and I got a pale yellou. For the purpuse it loocked good. But now I want more shades. Thank you very much for your work. And for sharing it. I am from Brazil. Perdon for my poor English.
Muito obrigado para seu comentário! I spent a month in Rio during a student exchange when I was a teenager and fell in love with your beautiful country! Do you know that I also have a website? If you are looking how to create different colors with natural dyes, you can find lots of information there: www.rosemaryandpinesfiberarts.de/ Let me know if you have any questions!
Hi, I'm on your email subscription and wanted to come check out your first video!! 🤗 The natural dying process is pretty interesting, I'd love to see more videos about what dyestuff are good, and the colors they produce. Thanks!! 🧶💜
Thank you for keeping the process doable and simple. I purchased your ebook and have been saving my onion skins and avocado pits and skins. Anxious to try this. Is it okay to use a big soup pot since the skins are natural and no chemicals are involved?
Thank you so much for your comment! I don't recommend using the same pot for natural dyeing that you use for cooking. Even though we are working with natural materials, you should still acquire a set of tools (pot, spoon, potentially a sieve) that you use solely for natural dyeing purposes. You can find those at a thrift shop for very cheap. Natural materials are not automatically non toxic (e.g. rhubarb leaves that can be used for natural dyeing purposes as well contain oxalic acid). And onion skins and avocado pits/skins contain tannins (which act as a natural mordant) that you shouldn't ingest, either.

A wonderfully simple and to-the-point video. I am starting out with natural dying now and I am eagerly awaiting your next videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Are there any specific topics you would like me to learn about?

Hi Yolanda, Thank you so much for your comment. I'll make sure to talk about different natural dye materials and colorways in a video very soon!

Since you are a natural dyeing beginner, are there any other specific question you have/topics you want me to cover in a future video?
@@AnnikaScheer Thank you. I’m sure I’ll have lots of questions moving forward😊
Does the yarn smell bad?
Do you mean bad in the sense of an onion-like smell? No, not at all. Neither the dye bath itself nor the dyed yarn does smell like onions.
