Dye Job (2)

This morning, fourth graders learned about natural dyes, which they used to color yarn. Ms. Hantman, a former Art teacher at Elisabeth Morrow, led the activity in Ms. Smithline's class. Ms. Hantman created three natural dyes from onion skin and lavender. The children took turns dipping their skeens of yarn and will eventually use the yarn, once it dries, for a weaving project.
