How to dye yarn with Marigold

Join me as I dye yarn with Marigold. I will show you how different fibres have an impact on the final colour of the yarn. We will also determine whether we need to use a mordant to bind colour to the yarn. What you will need A cooking pot (specific for natural dyeing) Marigolds: you can use fresh, dyed or frozen Stir stick water Alum gloves scale measuring spoon sifter/cheesecloth Instructions: Weigh marigolds. weight of the marigolds = weight of fibre (100g fibre requires 100g of marigolds). For dried flowers, soak overnight Place marigolds in pot and fill pot with water ( 2 inches below top) and simmer for 2 hours. Let cool down for an hour Remove Marigolds from the dye-pot Add washed, wet, pre-mordant yarn (I used Alum to pre-mordant the yarn) Let simmer for two hours (do not boil) Remove yarn from dye-pot wash in room temperature water until the colour stops coming out in the wash. Dry yarn Enjoy
