Something to appreciate with thoughts like this are the more natural dyes that come from plants, such as Iris Root, Black Walnut, Reed Flower, Hawthorn, so forth.
I've seen folks online use Virginia creeper and pokeberry to dye fabrics, a soft green and vibrant purple respectively. I'd love to take a crack at them on cotton, maybe even a natural tie dye!
The US Forest Service has a chart with plants and their corresponding colors. I wonder if there's a dye community on lemmy 🤔
I did not know about that chart, I am going to have to download that and keep a copy of it around.
If there is not one, perhaps you could make one? I would love to learn in good detail how to make my own dyes, and work on dying clothing myself!
