WOW! All of this color is just from onion skins! I had no idea it would be as easy as boiling some onion skins down for 20 minutes and then submerging yarn in that simmering liquid for 20 minutes would produce something so pretty… it makes my brain hurt a little just thinking about all of the times I could have been dying things and didn’t because I thought it would be too difficult. Shame on me!
