How many days does it take to dye Linen with Flowers? || Craftmas Day 3 

I have loved watching this process. I am having to resist every temptation to try it myself because I already have WAY too many different types of projects on the go. It is so impressive that you followed through over the year or more, and filmed it all! Thank you!

How absolutely marvelous. Onion skins are my favorite natural dye- they give such a range (yellow/brown/green) depending on the mordant etc. They would be a fun grow also. Excited to see how the weaving goes!

Congratulations! That's just lovely. No, I'm not watching these in order but am indeed enjoying them regardless. You've really done this project justic.

Hallo, Ich wollte dir endlich mal Grüße aus Deutschland schicken. Es ist schön, ab und zu Dinge der deutschen Traditionen in deinen Videos zu sehen. zum Beispiel das Räuchermännchen aus meiner alten Heimat, dem Erzgebirge. Liebe Grüße aus Dresden ❤

Not gonna lie-the thumbnail made me think this was a cocktail video. 😂

Thank you for taking us on this mad science adventure.

I cannot get into words the amount of joy this Craftmas series gives me. I've just relearned spinning again after giving up over 10 years ago and also used Jillian Eve's amazing channel as a reference and help. And it is such a weird and amazing coincidence that you then teased this project and I can now follow your flax experiments. For some reason, writing this all in English is way easier for me than my native German, so I'll just continue. I'm from a traditional flax producing region (before Industrialisation that is) and many of the heritage sites and museums are focused on flax and weaving linen. If there's ever the need for a German article or book that you cannot access overseas, I could look it up or scan it. I'm working in archaeology and our office library is not big but but has some cool archaeological and historical tidbits about textile production. (Ich hoff sehr, dass Angebot ist nicht total seltsam. Überlege seit einer Weile einen Kommentar zu schreiben, weil deine Videos mich einfach sehr inspirieren und ich die Art wie du die Story rüber bringst sehr angenehm und gemütlich ist um neben bei zu craften. ^^) Ganz viele Grüße und einen hoffentlich ruhigen und inspirierenden Dezember

Lance Leaved Coreopsis is hands down the most potent yellow dye I've ever seen. Protein fibers can produce a VERY dark red orange if they're soaked in concentrated coreopsis bath. But that's coreopsis tinctorum; the kind of coreopsis you're using. If you left both in the pot for several days you'll get a more intense result. I also had a lance leaved coreopsis tie dye hankie mom gave me to use as a test subject and it and a cotton undershirt I dyed in coreopsis turned prison jumpsuit orange in the wash. someone must have used too much of an alkali detergent before I got there. If you pack your clothes in too tightly or use too much it won't rinse out!

I am enjoying this adventure. The color you got is stunning.

Those colors turned out very pretty. This is a fun series!

That's gorgeous! Well done, this is so fascinating to see.

This has been so amazing and fun to watch!! Perfectionism also often makes me frustrated with my projects, so it’s so lovely and cathartic to see you forging ahead, content with any and all progress being made! Thats HUGE and adds such joy to the whole thing! Can’t wait to see what a meaningful trinket gets woven up tomorrow!

What a lovely colour! I'm excited to see how this turns out. :)

You did that so well and explained it superbly!

I’m really enjoying this project so much!!! Thanks for sharing! ♥️♥️♥️

Great! Wool prefers a slightly acidic environment usually, so hopefully that works out for you, should be fine if its not too alkaline. The colours are stunning. I love natural dyes.

Thank you for sharing this process. Its been very interesting.

Very interesting! One of my hobbies is gardening and I can soooo relate to your journey being a year. As a gardener, I get a vision in my head and then I have to wait for the right season, for a plant to grow and mature, to realize the plant isn't in the ideal spot and then move it, wait for it to mature again ... LOL It's a labor of love. Thank goodness for the quick wins too that keep us motivated. So, all that to say, I'm enjoying this series and appreciating your patience and I'm finding it instructional. ... both the flax dyeing and the patience!

Ah that was so awesome as I am a wanna-be natural dyer, getting my first Indigo soon and maybe some weld as well.

I've only worked with linen in a weave once, and it was well spun. I'm spinning a flax/silk blend right now that's uber thin and might (will) snap even on the ply, BUT - if you loosen your tension on the warp and use a shuttle/beater instead of relying totally on the heddle, maybe it's ok? I'm still experimenting myself, so not sure.

I loved watching this !! So happy for you !!

Your determination paid off.. lovely episode ❤

I love this Craftmas series!!! ❤❤❤ Beautiful! 🧶 Very inspiring 😃🌺

I can't be the only person asking for your mug...its a fantastic tea-mug!! Where does it come from? 🥰

This process is so interesting! And i love your sweater! ❤

You worked for so many months and the outcome was great, can't wait to see what you have made with the linen, and the colour of the wool is lovely, note to self " lanolin is bad, and i don't need more hobbies " but. 😂

So much fun to watch your progress with growing flax, spinning it and now using your home made dye from flowers! Amazing! BTW, I love your sweater and the mug is just the cutest! Looking forward to the next video!

your dog is so adorable😭🐶♥

Cool 😀

This is such a gorgeous color! A few months ago I've spent hours at craft stores looking for yarn in this color

I'll be really interested to hear how stable this is, most of my natural dye experiments end up pretty transient. I've got high hopes for onion skins though, I've been collecting them in the mesh bags one gets 10 lb batches of onions in for a few years. I just need to do some research to see what kind of mordant I need to use for that and for walnut, cause every fall my mom's place has an abundance of nice black walnuts.

Love the colours of both the linen and the wool🧡💛I admire your determination to see this project right through to the end... can't wait to see what you create!

Black tea is high in tannins

Absolutely loving this craftmas! I really appreciate you showing us the whole process, it's so interesting!

love this!!

That's beautiful!! I love following this project!

I'm loving watching this whole process!

utterly obsessed with this series!!!

This is so cool! Looking forward to the next step. 🤩

Thank you I have not any experience with dying but its very interesting to see the changes in color. The only dye I ever tried was barberry stems boiled to get a faint yellow but that was in my basket making days.

This is the content my soul needs ❤

The colour is really pretty! I just tried dyeing this year with Rit and it was really fun. I've been tempted to collect black walnuts for some natural dyeing experiments 😅

I love the yellows!

💜

I love your sweater!❤ Would like to buy it. Or do you have a pattern? Interesting journey

We have the noxious weed "woad" here. I have not been brave enough to use it yet.

🍄😍

The music is too loud
