Final wash of cochineal dyed cotton in extremely hot water, rinsed clean. This is the fabric wet. Will be close to the final color (will be lighter when it dries). But the cochineal definitely bonded to the fabric! From cochineal which colonized my cactus, with a bonus of using California sumac growing next to the cactus for tannins!! (Plus rusty nails I had in the shed, thrown in a glass jar). #dye #dyeing #backyard #garden #diy
