Dyeing fabrics with natural ingredients
Colors from nature, directly in your closet
Leaves, fruits, spices, and vegetables can dye fabrics in a natural, original, and completely sustainable way. A perfect activity for giving new life to t-shirts, scarves, or tablecloths.
🧺 Which fabrics to use
Cotton, linen, and silk absorb natural pigments better. Avoid synthetics: they don't retain color.
🌰 What to use for dyeing
Turmeric (yellow), beetroot (pink), red cabbage (blue-purple), coffee (brown), onion peels (gold): a true vegetable rainbow!
🔥 How to prepare the color bath
Boil the chosen ingredient in water, strain the liquid, and immerse the previously soaked fabric. More time = more intense color.
🧪 Fix the color naturally
Use natural mordants like vinegar or salt to help the color last. After dyeing, let it dry in the shade.
