I was up early today (5.30 a.m. again), so I've been exploring on the web and came up with this inspirational site. Check it out:

http://knittingiris.typepad.com/k...ng_iris/natural_dyeing/index.html

OK, so it's an American site, so we don't have access to the same plant range, but ooh, my fingers are fairly itching to try some of these out.

I hadn't even thought of saving dyebaths from natural dyestuffs in the fridge, so they could be reused for over-dyeing. Anyone else done this?

Lovely site BB (now we know what you get up to in the early hours of the day!), thanks for posting it. Very Happy

I've kept natural dyes in ice-cream tubs in the freezer for future use - still get good results.
