Thanks, easy to follow - but PS lots of plants make greens and cochineal are a bugs on agave amongst others and were a very valuable trade item well before medieval European contact.
I absolutely LOVED the process - all of it. Her scouring the wool, her spinning and her natural dyeing. She does seem to have ancient knowledge. I wish I could have been her rug weaving too.
I love listening to you talking about natural dyeing, Rita. I’ve been dyeing and eco printing wth botanicals for years now but it was interesting to hear you explain it so simply yet succinctly. It takes years to be able to talk about it so clearly. Thank you so much. I wish i could visit but Australia is far :-) Lu xxx
I enjoyed your video. I hope to be able to reach the same level of mastery using local plants from my native texas hill country surroundings and lots and lots of time and trial and error and patience. Thank you for sharing your craft with us.
A thousand thanks. This lady really makes my life easier. I would have liked to know if his alum is of food origin or not? Since her pie cream comes from a wine maker, or did she get her alum? I would like so much that it is my neighbor, I would learn so much faster !!! I envy you to have met her !!! Lucky !!!
This woman is a national treasure. ❤
Thank you. 🙏

Ivy leaves give green dye. Artichoke leaves give a lovely soft silvery green.
Thank you that was lovely to watch, and you have really simplified the process.

Thank you! I am going to dye with walnuts. I did not know about cream of tartar with the alum. Can you use alum by itself.
Hi Patricia, my understanding from Rita is that you have to use both
👌👌👌
What is the wool/fleece she's using?
The bugs live just fine in Texas!
