Yarn and Fabric related

Molly wanted to do some flower bashing (also known as flower pounding or Tataki Zome) for her school textiles project.  So we had some fun bashing the flowers onto fabric to get the natural dyes out.  Its quite addictive and results are lovely. All you need are fresh flowers/petals/leaves, a hammer and some fabric. Place your fabric on a hard surface. Put your flowers, petals or leaves on top of the fabric. We then put a piece of kitchen roll paper on top and then with the hammer bashed. Doesn't take long and you will see the natural dyes coming through the kitchen roll.
