    Absolutely lovely and inspiring! I also love the small details in the videos like the mended sleeve, the adorable tongs and the bachground cloths which I can already see being used in future projects ❤

      @k3n.clothtales  3 месяца назад +3

      Ah yes, my mended sleeve. This is a charity shop cardigan that I have had for about 12 years and when Stella was a puppy, she gnawed a chunk out of the sleeve. 😁♥️

    Kathryn this episode has been so interesting. A BIG thankyou. The chiffon scarf was so beautiful. I Will definitely be trying this out on my return home. You are so very generous with your time and gentleness. I have a big bag of onion skins that I collected at the supermarket, as you say, the shop were very happy that I tidied up the onion rack 😊

    Thank you for the most informative and easy to grasp natural dyeing video I've seen. The outcome pieces are all so gorgeous! I didn't see any undulation of color on them except for the beautiful scarf of course. That is an easy way to ecoprint. Had you not shown us every step i never would have guessed that each the fabrics was soaked ONLY in red or brown onion skins. I'm definitely inspired, thank you so much!

    • @k3n.clothtales
      @k3n.clothtales  3 месяца назад +2

    I must say one of my favorite things was seeing how you darned your jumper/sweater. I was so intrigued it’s quite beautiful.

Keep going and keep inspiring people to step out of the box and try something new.

    • @k3n.clothtales
      @k3n.clothtales  2 месяца назад

      Thank you 😊 the olive green usually comes from the addition of iron to red onions but a friend of mine was getting green from red onions every time, until recently the council updated the streets water pipes, now she gets brown. So we think there must have been iron in the old pipes. 😁♥️
