Rebecca Desnos 🌿 Natural Dyeing on Instagram: "✍️ Leave a comment with the word “FINGERTIPS” and I’ll send you a link to find out more about my natural dye book Botanical Colour at your Fingertips 🍃🍂🌼 Dyeing with dried willow leaves 🌿✨ The linen was pretreated with soya milk, which is my favourite way to pretreat plant fibres for dyeing. It helps achieve deeper, longer lasting colours. I followed my usual natural dye method that’s in Botanical Colour at your Fingertips 📗 It’s interesting how willow leaves give a very similar colour to avocado skins and stones. It’s the same for hawthorn and linden leaves. These plants all contain the same kind of tannins and make this pinkish-brown. Have you made this same pinkish-brown colour from dyeing with any other plants?"
