Dyeing with avocado skins 🥑
Clean the skins from all the avocado leftovers.
Put them in a pot and top up with water so the skins are completely covered.
Heat up until it starts to simmer, not boiling- Leave for around 1h then take pot of the stove.
Wet your fabrics and wring out before putting them in the dye.
Leave in for as long as you want, the longer you wait the darker and stronger the color will be. The above swatches was left for 1 hour and 8 hours.
Take the fabric out of the dye, wash thoroughly and let it dry
We are very happy with the ens result and this dye is definitely something we will use in our collection!
It was very interesting to see the vast difference in tones from the swatches dyed for 1h and the ones dyed over night.
Fabrics used, left to right: Milk twill, Cotton poplin, Cotton twill, Cotton poplin, Cotton twill, Woven polyester and silk.
