I haven't done any dyeing for years, but used to love experimenting with plants and tree barks. Heat and lack of water is a problem here in Western Australia, and where I live in the Darling Ranges the winds are punishing. Fortunately, mass plantings of natives as a wind break along with mulch, mulch and more mulch seem to result in less plant loss. Many herbs and plants I grow are most suitable for dyeing (and fortunately are not too "tender" to survive.

Thanks for the links.....I have been seriously thinking about getting back into dyeing, Whilst there are so many fantastic fabrics available....hand dyes have a special charm about them. Happy gardening (sorry Master Gardening). Please share some pics of your dyed fabrics....you know how we are about pics.
