HOW TO OMBRE DIP DYE ON WOOL & | SLOW FASHION | ORGANIC COLOR | DYER'S CHAMOMILE | BLACK HOLLYHOCK

Join me as I dip dye a merino wool shirt with dyer's chamomile and black hollyhock to create a beautiful ombre effect. Inspired by the summer flowers at The Color Farm, I continue the 21 Day Wardrobe Challenge with Wool& by adding another layer of natural color to this soft garment. This tutorial will introduce you to the cozy wool shirts of Wool& to show you how to add your own unique color flare with a dip dye technique overlaying two natural dyes on a wool top. You will see my ombre dye results for inspiration to embrace slow fashion in a colorful way.

Oh the colors of the hollyhock are beautiful in this video (almost halfway through)!

I still haven't gotten and dirt from tar hollow. We havent been near that spot so hopefully this weekend I can. Oh and I am testing out a cold-ish bundle dye!

I was going to make some poke weed berry jam (if you try this be careful because the berries and leaves are toxic if not cooked properly, also never eat the roots) and I realized you could make dye with the berries because even if you accidentally smash the berries it your hand they will stain you skin magenta.
