@Jane Harbison Thank you! 😊
How do you use one vegetable to make multiple colors on fabric?
...with red cabbage of course! Here are my results from two rounds of dyeing with red cabbage. These are silk and wool, scoured first, and then mordanted with alum. Straight red cabbage water gives a beautiful purple. Adding baking soda gives a blue or green depending on how much baking soda you add. Adding vinegar or lemon juice gives a magenta. The wool had a yellow tint to it, so that warmed up the colors quite a lot.

@Janie Eisendrath Isn't it? So far I've only dyed silk and wool with it, scoured first, and then mordanted with alum. I haven't done the wash test yet~ will let you know!

@Jane Harbison They are beautiful colors but, except for the magenta, they didn’t have as robust of a pigment load as watercolors do. So I couldn’t get quite as many different washes out of these.
Red Cabbage Dyeing workshop is in 2 days over at The Pocket Square Club Skool page.
Join us Tuesday, April 21, 4:00-5:00 MST (in the Western hemisphere) or Wednesday, April 22, 8:00-9:00am in Australia time for the FREE LIVE Workshop with @Jane Harbison and @Melissa Gill. Look in the Pocket Square Club Classroom for the preliminary supply list and preparation videos if you want to dye along with us, or you can just watch and gather information to try it yourself later!
