        I like to dye wool that I’ve spun, and I’m finding that many of the medicinal herbs can be used for dyeing wool as well as for healing—Goldenrod, St. John’s Wort, Hollyhock, to name a few.

          Yup. Folks have used them to dye their hair as well. Chamomile has been used for that. :0)

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

            Don’t forget Turmeric for a bright yellow and, Plantain for a nice green (I think I’m remembering right on the Plantain).
