I'm often thinking to try if I could dyie with the green water that comes when we boil wild local greens (as a salad). Also the yarn you dyied with coffee, is most beautiful! x TejeTeje Karjalainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16737386960364740858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021124444138903772.post-30338627618181995952013-03-11T10:31:30.135+11:002013-03-11T10:31:30.135+11:00Wow, I love that color.

I wonder if, on the beans-as-dye, the mordant interacts with the bean residue in order to get that great blue color. I don't know enough about chemistry to determine what, if any, chemical dace the alum and the protein in the beans do. :)<br /><br />Don't give up on motif-based projects!!!!! I make a lot of them, so I do feel your ends-weaving pain.Voie de Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863741631512546821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021124444138903772.post-18469895438907723582013-03-09T12:01:30.882+11:002013-03-09T12:01:30.882+11:00Finally!

First the eucalyptus branch, then coffee pot, now beans. If it's here, for certain someone would mistaken that jar with the yarn and bean juice as strange looking spaghetti and get all puzzled when it turns out inedible. On the other hand, the bean-dyeing is very inspiring! I would have never thought of that. Must try!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391126553849547771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021124444138903772.post-69153654795464171502013-03-09T00:25:15.515+11:002013-03-09T00:25:15.515+11:00That's brilliant, am definitely going to have ...That's brilliant, am definitely going to have a go, the colour is lovely, thanks for sharing.<br />martinemartinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260048849955077472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021124444138903772.post-45572460959582082722013-03-08T23:40:27.624+11:002013-03-08T23:40:27.624+11:00But it is very pretty, even if it is never "e...But it is very pretty, even if it is never "ends"ing!
