Because I'm sure you were dyeing to know...

the results of my recent experiments in the kitchen (yarn was involved)

I proudly present red cabbage and onion skins (freed at last from the zip-lock bag in the closet):

    

After prolonged simmering and steeping on the stove-top, the dye is ready to meet the yarn.  The yarn leaves the mordant bath and joins the dye bath where it frolics for hours.    

In the end the yarn emerges transformed.  See red cabbage (lower left) and Onion-skin dyed yarn (lower right) shown with Turmeric (upper left) and ... can you guess what produced the creamy golden brown?
