natural dyeing workshop {part II}

On my second day at the workshop I worked a shibori technique on a linen table runner and then dipped it in the indigo.

I also dyed some pima cotton, alpaca and cotton yarn swatches in the different yellows we had. The intention was to dip the material in yellow and then in the indigo to make green.
