FAQ About Indoor Plant-Based Dye Sources
Can spinach grown indoors be used for dyeing purposes?
Yes, spinach leaves can be used to create a mild green dye. To do this, chop the spinach leaves and simmer them in water for about an hour. Strain the liquid to remove the plant material and use the resulting green dye. As with other natural dyes, you will likely need a mordant like alum to set the dye on fabric.
