Red Onion Skins vs. Yellow Onion Skins

For our third round of dyes, we chose to observe a duel between red and yellow onion skins.

While very fun, this didn't go down without some tears.

Introducing the dyes (yellow onion skins on the left, red onion skins on the right):

Add the alum mordant...

And then stir the fabric...

And wait to see what happens overnight.
