HOW TO DYE WITH POPPIES | ORGANIC COLOR | WOOL YARN SILK COTTON | SOLAR TEA | TRAVEL IN SPAIN

Poppies can create subtle purple & gray tones on fiber in the dye pot that you can deepen with longer soaks in a simple glass jar. Join me as I forage this abundant wildflower in the rolling hills of Aragon, Spain to capture a slice of botanical color while traveling abroad. This tutorial will show how to dye with poppies on wool yarn, silk & cotton to reveal how beautiful these red petals can be as a natural dye source at home or on the road.
