During last weeks dyeing marathon, I got very carried away with the home made colours and decided to berry dye a piece of fabric I had laid out ready for the coffee treatment.
The harvest is already done, but there are still some late fruit and low hanging bits that I was able to scrounge out of the garden. First, blackcurrants:
Then a few Loganberries:
A number of Raspberries:
And a whole bunch of Redcurrants:
After picking a good two handfuls of fruit, I folded them into the fabric....
and SQUASHED!
I squashed and squashed until my hands were also stained pink and purple. I liked how there were different colour variations all the way through from the different berries.
After baking, it turned out a pretty graduated pink!
With my other dyed pieces, ready to be made into something....
