TASTER: Dyeing with a Slow Cooker with Angela Daymond

Description

Angela selects four different products to use to create the colour in her fabrics, which are both cotton and silk;  she uses onion skins for a soft beige colour;  walnut husks for brown;  wood chippings for purple and madder root for red/pink.

Sometimes you need to pre-treat the fabric with a modant and Angela explains why.  The ingredients are re-usable, but they will loose some of their power.

So load up your slow cooker – leave cooking for 3-4 hours and see what you can produce.
