We had a lemon tree in the back yard that wasn't doing very well so I cut it down. The branches are beside our garage and I have been putting as much as I can in our green bin each week. Last week I thought I should see if I can dye with it. Luckily I remembered while I still had some branches. So this is the result. A piece of cotton fabric and two bits of ric rac (it doesn't show in the photo, but they are a light lemon colour), a skein of 4ply merino, and a skein of 8ply merino baby yarn. The colour variation is quite dramatic.
