Dyer's Coreopsis
  • This variety of the common yellow coreopsis flower (its scientific name is Coreopsis tinctoria) produces a deep yellow shade when used for dyeing without any additional chemicals. Dyer's coreopsis grows wild in many places in North America and is easy to grow at home. You can also use the plants (without the flowers) to create a greenish-brown shade. You will need the same weight of flowers or plants as the weight of the fibers you plan to dye.

Eucalyptus
  • There are many types of eucalyptus, and each provides a different result when dyeing. However, many eucalyptus varieties produce a lovely bright orange on fibers when used for dyeing without additional chemicals. The smell of eucalyptus can be quite strong when it's boiled during the dyeing process, however, so it may be best to work with it outside on a portable hot plate unless you really enjoy its scent. You can also collect some eucalyptus bark, which makes a pale green when used for dyeing. An equal weight of leaves and fiber is needed for dyeing.
