Easter Monday, Sarah and I tried a few creative suggestions from the www on dyeing hard boiled eggs. They turned out... ok. Above right in blue is the result of 1/4 cup of vinegar, 1/4 cup of crushed (we used frozen, microwaved) blueberries, and 1/4 cup water. The left brown egg was created with paprika, 1/4 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup water. And the beautiful yellow speckled eggs were same liquid combo with 1 Tb tumeric. What did NOT work so well and just made a fabulous mess was spinach (frozen and microwaved), and grape juice. Next year, perhaps we will try beets, red onions, or mustard.
What a cool idea! I've only ever used food coloring and the paas kits you can buy. I bet this same process would work for dyeing yarn..just a thought :)
