We are exploring how to achieve all the prismatic colours of the rainbow. From deep luscious red to dark blue and deep purple, find out how you can dye at home to get the colours you want for a rainbow project. I will cover red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, purple and black, using the intersectional pride flag to help give an overview for the colours we'll be achieving. This channel is run by a queer crafter and I am happy to share my knowledge for pride projects. Happy Pride!

Note: this video also includes yarn which is about 50 years old, as an exploration of how we can renew and use antique materials to new uses.
