Welcome back folks. Today we are dyeing with coffee. It’s kind of funny because I usually try to keep coffee off my clothes, but this time I really wanted that coffee color on silk. It came out a super light brown. I am mostly a Simpler, so the recipe was easy. A plop or few of vinegar, a pot of second-generation coffee, and the grounds. Get it to a boil, then take it off the burner to sit. I will either hand roll hem or take it through the machine. I haven’t decided. Here is what came of it.
Stay tuned to see how our soap turned out. I can smell it from where I stand. The soap is curing and I am about to pop it out of the mold. Also, our next project will be to achieve a pink dye for silk, using food.
