Dying is really a science - and I never did that well at science! :-) I've always wanted to try working with natural dyes - it always has seemed like a very fun thing to try. Good for you! Have fun with it! I've even wanted to just try it dyeing Easter eggs. Maybe this Easter...<br /><br />I'm wrapping tonight - and using those strips! Heck, it will be just fine. It would probably be better if I didn't tell anyone that they were supposed to be different colors - but knowing me, I'll spill the beans with every gift!

I've been having fun with natural dyes of late (esp. papery onion skins) and they really work best on silks and wools...i.e., protein fibers and not plant fibers like cotton. Silk is really the best of all, but I don't find too many 100% silk white blouses on the racks of the Salvation Army! I'm with you -- use those strips anyway and they will still look great!!!Anne K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16449929462095203637noreply@blogger.com
