SOLAR DYE: Create vibrant NATURAL DYE

Use the sun to naturally dye your fiber! This simple process captures solar heat to help extract natural color from plants. In this tutorial I demonstrate how to dye with two plants: black hollyhocks and weld. It's an easy process to create naturally dyed textiles right at home. Black hollyhock dyes create BLUE NATURAL DYE and weld dyes create vibrant YELLOW NATURAL DYE. They are also on two ends of the colorfastness spectrum. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Your fiber will first need to be mordanted with alum.
