Pink and Brown

In a previous post I mentioned some natural dyeing I have been doing. Well, here are some pictures of what I've done. The most recent dye I used was made from apricot bark that I saved after pruning the trees. It made such a pretty earthy pink color.I started by dyeing just a little bit of Pygora fiber, then a little more, and finally I did some wool yarn that I had. The brown yarn next to the pink yarn was dyed using oak leaves. I have also used eucalyptus leaves which made a rusty orange color. Natural dyeing is so fun. I love the subtle colors it creates.
