Summer Colour with Natural Dyes — Backyard Summer Projects
We love taking our dye projects outside in the summer months!
There is something so magical about working with colour under the open sky — whether it’s bundle dyeing with freshly gathered botanicals, tending an indigo vat, or experimenting with the endless possibilities of natural colour. There is no better time to slow down, play with colour, and let the season guide our creativity.
Explore our natural dyes, earth pigments, mordants & dyeable collection for your next project.
Silk loves to hold colour, making each piece an invitation to play, to gather flowers from your garden, and to create something deeply personal.
We’ve made a simple tutorial so you can capture the abundance and hues of the season.
THE NATURAL INDIGO FRUCTOSE KIT
A great way to get started. This kit is used for the 'Fruit Vat' the 'Banana Vat' and 'Fructose Vat'. This kit contains 100g natural indigo, 250g fructose, 250g calx, and instructions.
You can also find the online instructions on how to dye with the indigo fructose kit here at naturaldyes.ca.
MULBERRY SILK SCRUNCHIES
A dyeable scrunchie made from hand reeled and handwoven mulberry silk. The stunning natural lustre of this fibre comes to life when coloured with natural dyes. Silk has a luxurious drape and feel that is unlike anything else.
