The dye is made by extracting pigments from spinach leaves, often by boiling or blending them with water and then straining the liquid. Natural fibers like cotton and silk can be dyed, with the color retention enhanced by mordants like salt or vinegar. The resulting green is a subtle, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes. | ML145 |
