I was reading your archives. I noticed you used onion skins to dye yarn. Very cool idea. Wish I would've thought about that...... considering my Mom uses onion skins to dye Easter Eggs.......they all come out that rust / brown color. Rather pretty----(I'm all grown up so pink, blue, etc easter eggs aren't really a requirement any longer) :-) <em>Hi Lisa, Thanks for visiting my blog! :) Onion skins actually make a really good dye for yarn and they are an easy way to get introduced into natural dyes.

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for visiting my blog! :) Onion skins actually make a really good dye for yarn and they are an easy way to get introduced into natural dyes. As you can tell in the picture I got some amazing colors from them. Another bonus is that they are easy to come by! -Cynthia

Thanks for the step by step description. You got really amazing color considering you didn't mordant. I've been saving onion skins, but mixing the red and yellow. I think it will be a long time before I have enough to give it a try myself... Beautiful! Thanks for the step by step description. You got really amazing color considering you didn’t mordant.
