Kit - Botanical print on merino wool/nylon blanket to dye yourself by Dahlia Milon Textile

Product Details

Dahlia's intention with this botanical printing kit is to introduce you to the pleasures of plant dyeing and at the same time have you experience an encounter with nature, flowers and your creativity.

Using flowers that she has grown in her dye plant garden in Kamouraska, she invites you to dye your knitted blank in duplicate to make identical socks or a shawl. In order to simplify this moment of creation, the knitted fabric has already been mordanted, meaning that it is ready to be dyed.

This creative activity is a moment that we allow ourselves or our children to create with nature.
It is an invitation to wear our territory, to dress with respect for it and for ourselves and to establish a new relationship with the plants that surround us.

Kit includes:

• 100g double knitted blank, 75% merino/25% nylon
• Illustrated explanatory booklet  (in french)
• Link to an explanatory video (in french)
• 5 dye plants grown in Kamouraska
• Iron sulfate to modify colors
• Rope and parchment paper

The large variety of flowers included in the kit allows you to dye your silk scarf in a warm or cool tone according to your taste!
