how to tea dye?

[Greenmtnboy]

I just finished a frock in wallnut dye that came out great!! A perfect grey brown, Now I want to sew up a canvas weskit, but want more of a golden brown or just a dark brown to break up my pattern.
What tea should I use and how do I do it?
:hatsoff:
Also who is who on dyeing and where can I get that info
online or book form
book form perferably

GMBoy: I'm awaiting replies to your thread too. It occurs to me though that you might try butternut for a subtle contrast.

Here's some good info online about making natural dyes from plants - Natural Dyes from Plants
