Today’s feature is from Lion Brand with instructions for how to make Natural Dyes from Edible Items

We used only edible items purchased at our local market, boiling water and (in some cases) salt to make beautiful, all-natural dyes.

After trying our dyes, you will probably want to experiment with other natural food dyes of your own. Start by using fruits or vegetables that stain and experiment! You can mix dye baths to make different colors. You will probably find, as we did, that the colors are all — surprise — “earth” tones!

Here are the recipes provided:

Turmeric Dye
Yellow Onion Skin Dye
Grape Dye
Beet Dye *Not colorfast
