Natural dye processes

Natural dyeing is alchemy in action. Insects yield stunning magentas and purples, while humble flowers offer vibrant yellows. Ordinary roots from bushes produce a spectrum of pink, orange, and ruby hues.

Crafting colors for yarn is a process filled with wonder. Even what some might call "failures" turn out beautifully!
