HI Ladies,

My husband sent me this link last night. I thought you did a great job explaining how to dye silk. If you’re looking for other easy colors, consider saving your onion peels they make beautiful warm honey colors. And berries are all lovely.

And if you’d like to add texture to any of these you’re making, fold them into a scrunchy packet or tie dye packet -symmetrical folds and/or spiral secured closed with a rubber band.
I started my business as a homeschooling mom who bought silks and dyes on a coop just 6 years ago.
I can attest to the easy success becoming addictive in a way… see how far it has taken me. We just relaunched our site after 5 yrs on the web.

If anybody wants to get a great deal on purchasing specialty silks this fall, sign on my site as a user and I will enable a 15% PATRON discount.

Happy Dyeing and enjoy your little ones……
Sincerely,
Meagan

Hello! Thank you for this fabulous tutorial and excellent photos! I can’t wait to do these for my little girls. It will save me refolding and relaundering all the bath towels in the house – silk scarves will make better capes, cloaks and blankets.

Oh, I’ve dyed wool yarn with koolaid, but never thought of dying silk scarves. What a lovely idea!

I’ve been thinking about doing this forever, but I think I just wasn’t sure that it would really *work*. I’m so happy to see that it did! I’ve always thought that play silks would be fun, so i think I’ll be starting on a birthday gift for my boy…

I have always wanted to do this-but I better hurry before Ginger is too old to play with the scarves!
