I love natural dyes! We do some of that for field trips sometimes at the museum I work for. We’re near a lot of Osage wood, so we often use Osage Oranges, also known as Horse Apples, for dyes. Commonly-known dye plants like woad for blue, weld for yellow, and madder for red, also work well, but the only way to figure out what plants around your area make nice colors on your clothes is experimentation! We love to see it!
