Answers
Answer:
Yes, it is possible........
Plants have been used for natural dyeing since before recorded history. The staining properties of plants were noted by humans and have been used to obtain and retain these colors from plants throughout history. Native plants and their resultant dyes have been used to enhance people's lives through decoration of animal skins, fabrics, crafts, hair, and even their bodies.Throughout the world, evidence of natural dyeing in many ancient cultures has been discovered. Textile fragments dyed red from roots of an old world species of madder (Rubia tinctoria) have been found in Pakistan, dating around 2500 BC. Similar dyed fabrics were found in the tombs of Egypt.Tyrean purple dye was discovered in 1500 B.C. and was produced from the glandular secretions of a number of mollusk species.
This purple dye was extremely expensive to produce as it required nearly 12,000 mollusks to produce 3.5 ounces of dye.
Tyrean purple became the color of royalty.
Lichens were used to produce ochril, a purple dye, which was called the “poor person’s purple”.
Remove the desired portion of the plant
Chop or tear the blossoms, leaves, etc. apart to expose more surface area
Combine in a large kettle
Add enough water to cover the plant material
Simmer on range until the plant material looks faded and dye has transferred to the water (about 1 hour)
Strain out left-over plant material and discard
The remaining liquid is your dye
