Natural dyeing - new wave

I red an article in a Finnish craft magazine Taito about natural dyeing and getting icy blue colors from lupine flowers. My old hobby got a new spark and I tried the recipe on silk yarn this May at home in Vancouver.







The yarn turned pink at first, but when it dried it got its final color in beautiful light bluish grays.
The yarn to the right is dyed with left over stems an leaves.
