Dandelion dye results. . A delicate pale yellow, a gentle colour. This image doesn't really do it justice. . I think it would work well as an accent colour in weaving or as part of a fairisle design? . I may do more of this before the flowers run to seed, perhaps add many more to the pot to achieve a slightly stronger colour? . The sun is shining on this glorious Sunday...so it's great to pick them whilst in sunny bloom . Whats in your dye pot today? . Have you had different results when dyeing with dandelions? . Happy Sunday ππΌ . #Sunday #dandelion #dye #naturaldyeing #plantdye #yellowflowers #wooldyeing #wool #welshwool #backtotheland #rurallife #creativecountryside #indiedyer #dyersofinstagram #naturaldyersofinstagram #may
