📌SOME TIPS FOR DYEING FABRIC (for flowers)
Add the dried flowers to the dye pot, cover with boiling water leave for the night. Next day simmer (do not boil) for half an hour to extract the color.
Strain the dye liquid and add to the dye pot. Add mordanted fabric and simmer (do not BOIL!) until the desired shade is achieved (from 30 to 90 minutes). With the addition of iron water warm shades of olives can be produced.
