Jamie Young - Natural Dye Educator on Instagram: "Oak & Sycamore Leaf Dye 🍂

Leaves are one of my absolute favorite fall dye sources. While we don’t get the vibrant autumn colors here, that doesn’t mean they don’t produce gorgeous dyes.

As tree leaves mature, their tannin levels rise, making fall the perfect season for natural dyeing with leaves. I love gathering freshly fallen leaves—especially oak leaves, which tend to shed branches and leaves naturally, making them easy to find in good condition right on the ground. However, older leaves work well too. 

For this project, I used a blend of oak leaves (red oak, white oak, and burr oak) and sycamore leaves. The fabrics are all cellulose-based, some pretreated with soy milk, while others were mordanted with tannin and aluminum acetate.

It's over a year since I first wrote a post about using an iron blanket. I remember doing more bundle dye experiments when all the leaves changed colour in 2017 and I did get closer to the iron blanket effects I hoped for. A couple of weeks ago, noticing some of the oak leaves were already falling, I managed to find the pieces of cloth I printed last year, but really couldn't bring to mind quite how I had done it. Unfortunately, last autumn I had little headspace to spare and wasn't…

Jamie Young - Natural Dye Educator on Instagram: "Some of my personal favorite natural dye plants for creating eco prints. 🌿🌼 Flowers: hibiscus, cosmos, coreopsis, black knight scabiosa Leaves: cosmos, tree of heaven, geranium, hemp, sumac, Chinese pistache, & redud The truth is, with a good, adjustable mordanting recipe, almost any plant will make a clear beautiful print. The key is being able to match the dye constituents within the plant to the proper mordants. Many plants contain multiple phytochemicals and can create a variety of prints depending on the pretreatment that is used. For instance, a tannin rich leaf such as Chinese pistache, is capable of creating yellow, green, lavender and dark purple prints when slight adjustments are made to the mordant recipe. 🌈 I make this easy Tree Of Heaven, Eco Printing Textiles, Purple Prints, Leaf Dyeing, Flowers Hibiscus, Green Lavender, Jamie Young, Black Knight, Colorful Background
