I read somewhere you need to crush the leaves with wooden rollers (to dry them I think?) then make them into balls and then leave them to dry for a month. Then put it in a vat with water and ammonia, which I heard is made by simply heating up pee, I also heard they would just leave it out in the sun back in the day. Because well... You don't want your entire home to smell of pee.

Thank you so much for one of the best processes yet,so natural without the dreaded chemistry 💚🐝
Does this work well with cotton yarn? BTW thank you for making a video and getting straight to the point. xx
Facinating, thankyou.
Is it a long lasting color? Does it wash out? Is it sun fading?
I also thought urine was used in the traditional process
Would it be set fast or is heat/steam setting needed
Does the fabric end up patchy when you are done or is the color pretty consistent?
It's fairly even actually, it depends how much careful you are with really covering the whole of the fabric and the fabric/dye ratio.
