Natural dyeing with Hibiscus flowers.
The results that I found after doing a
google search; always shows the results
as pink color.
This is my second attempt.
I soaked my fabric in distilled water
and alum. Did a quick Tie dye method
of wrapping the fabric and put it into
the pretty dark pink dye water ( after
extracting the dye from dried hibiscus
flowers)
I just heated the dye water and left
the fabric in over night.
This is what it looked like in the morning.
(I took the photo on my deck; so the bright
spots are from the sun)
It's a very pretty pink!
Dried and Ironed it.
Filled the sink with distilled water.....
It's just not working.
If anyone knows of a way to retain the pink
color after washing - please let me know.
Otherwise, my conclusion is that hibscuis
flowers does not make a pretty pink but a
grey.
