Combining Eco Printing with Felt

I really love how easily felt takes the natural dye colour.

I’ve recently made myself a new coat combining an eco printed body with naturally dyed sleeves and collar. The felt is a combination of merino and silk, all the various different eucalyptus leaves that I used to print it with are home grown (in Ireland) and the natural dye was made from E. gunnii ‘Azura’ leaves with a handful of E. nichollii, both red printers. At the same time I made up another dye bath using mixed leaves, that gave a warm gold colour!
