FAQ About Indoor Plant-Based Dye Sources

How can I extract dye from turmeric plants grown indoors?
To extract dye from turmeric, start by harvesting the roots of the turmeric plant. Clean and peel the roots, then cut them into small pieces. These pieces can be dried and ground into a powder. For dyeing, mix the turmeric powder with water to create a dye bath, and use alum as a mordant to help the dye bond with your fabric.
