For a long time I've been curious to try natural dyeing and I finally did this week. The process was so enjoyable and the results unexpected and exciting. I used organic cotton voile for the first two scarves, bamboo silk for the third and woven bamboo for the last (which drapes so well and perfect for summer dresses, I think). The bamboo silk fabric (which is 100% bamboo and suitable for vegans) took the dye the best and produced such a beautiful deep colour. The fabric has a lustre and feels so lovely against the skin.
I'm now busy dreaming up plans to do more...

Wow- this is amazing!! I'd love to learn how.
your scarves are beautiful, are you using bamboo silk yardage or are you able to find plain scarves ready for dyeing ? I would love to know as I am trying to find ready to dye scarves or how to sew the edges of yardage so it doesn't unravel. I love bamboo silk, its so soft and good to know that its not grown with pesticides. Many thanks !
