Natural Dyeing Course Part of this weeks homework dying with marigolds. An interesting range on silk, cotton and wool, fabric and thread. I am going to try modifying some of these. I also made some paper with the marigold petals that were left from the dye pot.

Really got going on my natural dye course this week with the Ditchling Dyers. Previously we dyed a variety of fabric and thread samples with logwood, which we then modified. Samples from the workshop this weekend include madder, birch bark and cutch. Between now and the next session I will have fun experimenting with walnut and calendula.
