I've spent the last year slowly researching plant dye stuffs in my free time. Most of the info I've found is about how to dye wool. It's the easiest fiber to dye. There are farms in state that raise sheep, but I'm interested in cotton. That's what I mostly wear. Well yesterday I started testing! I bought some red cabbage, chopped and boiled it. It turned the water a beautiful blue! The pink came about by adding a little vinegar. I found the ratios at and lots more info over at PioneerThinking if anyone wants to try it out. I'll post my results when it's done.
