Traditional Dyeing Materials

South Africa does not have traditional dyeing materials. Usually, people use already mixed dyes, implying that the dyes sold are already mixed with the necessary chemicals. As a result, I begun using spices to make dyes. Spices have proved to be better than those already mixed dyes sold in South Africa. I can tell you that spices make very good dyes. I am using just about every food I find in the house. Yesterday, I used tea leaves to dye a fabric. The other day, I used Tumeric, a spice, to dye a t-shirt. You don't have to produce low quality fabrics by using these already mixed dyes. You can simply use various food types in your house.
