DIY Natural Dye Kits

This DIY Natural Dye Kit includes everything you need to make your own 100% Organic Cotton Socks (Q for Quinn Brand) or 100% Silk Scarf from plant-dyes!

Explore the magic of plant dyes yourself as you create your own pattern, watch the dye leach out of the flowers and leaves onto the material, and reveal the beauty!

All flowers and leaves are homegrown in a Michigan backyard, harvested, dried/pressed, and packaged by The Michigan Dyer (aka Ashley)! These kits really are a labor of love <3.

This kit includes:

• One pair of mordanted Q for Quinn 100% Organic Cotton Socks OR one 100% Silk Scarf

• Homegrown pressed flowers and leaves

• String

• Step-by-step Dyeing Instructions

Flowers/leaves included in the kits but are in the kits depending on the season (they will all be labeled in the kits):

Cosmos, coreopsis, black walnut leaves, marigolds, maple leaves, black knight scabiosa, calendula, goldenrod

What you will need:

Steaming vessel with a lid and a basket to set your socks (ex: colander, veggie steaming basket). Heat source & water. Tongs are recommended because the socks will be hot from the steam.

This makes a perfect gift, activity to do with a friend or partner, as well as a way to learn more about natural dyes as an individual!
