Natural Dye, UK White Workman's, and a Mad Scientist...
Been thinking about ordering a White UK Workman's to dye. Waited on my black workman's to arrive to be sure I liked the style...and of course I love it.
Was gonna choose a Rit Dye color, then realized that the countryside around me is thick with sagebrush. The Navajos used to boil up a sage tea to dye their wool with. Comes out sort of yellow-gold. Hoping the cotton would be similar.
Think it would be a beautiful color that was complementary to the canyonlands.
Just don't have any experience on making up a natural dye, dipping an expensive kilt into it, and figuring out a way to fix the dye.
Off to scour the Internet and the library for such information. Would appreciate feedback from anyone that's already taken such a risk...
Thanks,
Ron
