When using beets and other vegetables for natural clothing dye, it’s always best to begin with a natural fiber item of clothing. Look for T-shirts, tank tops, or other clothing made with 100% cotton. These natural cotton clothes will take up more dye and will hold on to the color longer with normal wear and washing. Adding a little bit of salt and/or vinegar will also help the cotton clothes to retain the color longer.

Use copper to give your end result a greenish tint. Make a copper bath with a few old pennies (from before 1982) in boiling water, or buy copper sulfate online. Copper is toxic to consume, so don't use a pot that you use for cooking and work in a well-ventilated area. Always act as soon as you notice a dye stain. The longer a stain has to set, the more difficult it is to remove. Navy Blue -The classic nautical shade; complement with red and white or offset with deep burgundies and greens to add majestic touches to a room. Make a red-brown dye using elderberries, red onion skin, pomegranates, beets, bamboo, or dried hibiscus flowers.

Using beets as natural clothing dye is probably the easiest way to get started, and you’ll love the results – a romantic, dusty pink!

Iron is an effective mordant but will darken the end result with a brownish tint. Use iron for earth tone results. To create an iron bath, boil a few old nails in a large pot of water.

Prepare your beets. If you’re not going to peel your beets, scrub them well to remove any dirt, and then chop them. For a ladies’ medium T-shirt, I chopped up five fist-sized beets, removing the tops and roots. Don’t go crazy chopping them into small pieces, but do make sure that you chop them so that plenty of the inner flesh is exposed to the water. (I quartered my beets.) Remember that if you use more beets and less water, you’ll get a deeper rose color. Using fewer beets and more water will give you a lighter, more subtle color for your natural clothing dye.

In my experiments, synthetic fibers like rayon and polyester didn’t take as well to the natural clothing dye. Pretty much everything came out in the wash, or faded in the sunlight in as little as a day when I hung them out on the line to dry. Even using the salt/vinegar combination didn’t do much to help the clothing retain the dye. It was also more difficult to use the iron to heat set the color into the fabric, as these kinds of fibers tend to melt at a lower temperature than natural cotton. If in doubt, try a little swatch of the fabric first before you commit to using natural clothing dye on a piece of clothing with mixed synthetic fibers.
