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!
