    I just saw on TV that you can make natural purpleish/reddish dye by boiling crushed blackberries and beets. Does anyone have any idea what I could use to make other colors or dye (blue, yellow, green, whatever), I'de like to start using my own natural homemade dyes for the skirts I make...
    Thanks:)

    your link didnt work for me sunburst.

    my hubby's really into mushroom hunting right now, and i guess that there are some kinds of mushrooms that can be used as dyes for natural fibers.

    Black Dye can be made using a few common items.
