Thanks for the tips! We talked about this a lot today. We thought of coffee, green tea and beets as winners.

Will have to tune in tomorrow to see your results!

So cool that you tried natural dyes! I dyed one of G’s play silks with blueberry and it worked OK, but we still ended up using plain old food coloring this year and tie-dyed with the leftovers!!

Next year, though, I’m going to be dying things with the plants I grow from Seeds of Change’s Dye Seed collection: http://www.seedsofchange.com/garden_center/product_details.asp?item_no=S17174

I’ll let you know how it goes!!
