In this episode of White Threads FlossTube I have a tutorial on how to tea dye linen. I show two ways to do this – one with even colour across the fabric, and the other with deliberate blotchiness. Tea dyeing can be used to easily colour white linen, and to add an aged look to plain linen.

Thanks for the demonstration. I had no idea the process is so quick.
It is not difficult, and therefore definitely worth giving a go!
