I'm also wondering if it's fragrant - that would be a big plus for me. :)Voie de Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863741631512546821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021124444138903772.post-62721135395636680922013-02-16T11:19:47.670+11:002013-02-16T11:19:47.670+11:00That shawl turned out great.That shawl turned out great.Kathryn Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990925295124938262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021124444138903772.post-92175982366289573202013-02-16T10:58:21.825+11:002013-02-16T10:58:21.825+11:00I have only vaguely heard of using eucalyptus as d...I have only vaguely heard of using eucalyptus as dye, maybe you need more of that leaves to generate a more dense, saturated color?

After soaking in the plant, I would assume it would be fragrant. I have a natural plant dye book and noticed most plants give very earthy and muted colors.WonderWhyGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427923229119655073noreply@blogger.com
