Today on Dropped Stitches Podcast, watch as I do some eco printing and dyeing on silk scarves by an experimental method. No knitting today, only a demonstration of dye and plants on silk.
Plants attempted include Japanese maple, clematis, St Johns Wort, lambs quarter, veitch, marigold, red clover.
To see more (real) eco printing, search Instagram for #ecoprinting
In which I ramble about my half-formed Tour de Fleece plans! For the non-spinners out there, I also collected a list of fun make-along happenings for you, flash a little knitting, and show a miniature orchid that looks like barbie cucumbers. Hope you enjoy!
