How to dye - take onion skin (approx. equal weight as weight of your wool or silk). Boil it during 1-2 hours, filter, add your material and steam during 1-1.5 hours. Rinse and dry.
This scarf is felted of extra-fine merino wool on light cotton fabric as a base (nuno-felting technic). Then dyed with onion skin with added vinegar. The color is rusty-brown. Cotton almost did not take dye and this gives interesting stripe effect.
In same dye bath I dyed silk for other scarf. The color is light beige. I felted this scarf of dyed silk and white prefelt.
