Sumac Flower Dye – Salmon Pink

Amelia Hoskins / Dye Bath Processes, Dye Plants, Uncategorised / / 0 Comments

Sumac flowers from Sumac Tree. Pointed cone flowers.

They start red, but these were picked when russet, in October.  Soak flowers in water until dye appears. I leave these for a few weeks before adding fabric.  Silks Habotai and Erin were soaked for a few days amongst the flower seeds.
