[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Yarn dyes

[Henry Osborne]

Hi Dee and Courtney, my Native American Ancestors used teas, coffee, berries 
and other natural things to dye their threads and wools.
Some of the women and even men who live on the Blackfoot Reservation in 
Montana still dye their things today. I will look up the Native American 
practice of dying for more info.

I’ve heard of some people using Kool-Ade to dye yarn. Check out the Crafty 
Gemini on YouTube. I think it was in one of her videos last month.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been curious for a while about dying my own yarn or fiber. And while 
wandering the Internet yesterday I came across a technique for using Easter 
egg dye to dye natural fiber yarns. I am wondering if anyone else has 
attempted this technique, whether it worked, and whether you have any tips. 
Seems like a cool experiment and since Easter egg dye is relatively 
inexpensive right now, one that I could try without too much expense.
