Normally, I would totally be against pouring coffee out without drinking it.... But for the purpose of dyeing yarn, I was willing to part with some of my coffee beans. The result is not my favorite color, but still a nice natural brown, which will make a great winter hat or a pair of mittens.

I really wanted to create a vibrant green using all natural dyeing methods. After reading, watching a lot of videos from other creators and researching the best ingredients, I decided Spinach is the way to go. The result I got is better than I had expected. What do you think?

Now that I got the hang of the basics of natural dyeing, I'm allowing myself to conduct experiments with the local plants and trees. I have never seen anyone use the Royal Poinciana pods for anything other than decorations or perhaps as a rattle, but since these trees are all over the place at my Kibbutz, I just decided to try! The result is surprising and beautiful. I love it!

After watching a few videos on dyeing yarn using Red Cabbage and seeing how the result can be different each time, I was curious to see what mine would turn out like. The results are, once more, not what you might have expected...

This time, I decided to use Black Lentils. I saw people dye with black beans before, but I couldn't get any black beans, so I went for lentils instead. The result is, in my personal opinion, just beautiful!

For this attempt at natural yarn dyeing, I decided to use red beets. I have watched several videos about this method, and each time the final color was different, so I was very curious to see what happens.

For my third attempt at natural yarn dyeing, I decided to use red beans. This is not something I have seen done before, but since I know red beans always leave a deep brown color in the water after soaking, I thought I would give it a try. Once again, the final result is a bit deeper in color than my camera would show. It is a soft almond color.

For my second attempt at natural yarn dyeing, I decided to go with Avocado. It is Avocado season here right now and all my neighbors helped with collecting the pits and skins. The final color is a very light dusty rose color. It looks very subtle on the video, but it isn't actually. That is my camera playing light-tricks... 🤦♀️

I'm venturing into dyeing yarn using natural ingredients and I wanted to share it with you all! Pomegranates grow wild here at the kibbutz, so I decided to use them as my first natural dyeing component!
I used this video by @Myra Made Color as a guide: https://youtu.be/2yLJ3iQ3Rh0
