Thanks for that link Karen, super. I'm wanting to do some Eco dyeing come summer, so food for thought.

I don't know if I'd have the time or patience for eco dyeing, but I might have to buy a book on it to understand it, it's quite frustrating reading posts all over which give snippets of info, but it's still a mystery

Zed - I've never found a book with specific directions. India Flint's book was very disappointing.

Almost everything I see on line seems to use eucalyptus.

Oh, that's a shame, Ruth Yeah, Eucalyptus seems very popular and gives good results.

I have a friend that has started spinning and is really keen to try eco dyeing so I may yet give it a go, have not so far, as don't think I need more projects! I do remember my mother used to use onion skins, walnut shells and lichen, no idea of the recipes though. I know there are several old books that New Zealand spinners and weavers put out years ago, so might just have to try and get my hands on those.
