Onion skins

I put lots of onions skins in a pot. I boiled and kept the heat for one hour. Left the onions in the pot overnight.

The day after I strained the onions and divided the dye liquid in three parts to use different modifiers: citric acid and calcium carbonate.

Rinse the fabric.

Results on cotton.

Results on silk.
