Don't throw that away!

InshaAllah, on Tuesdays, I'll try to post about something that you would ordinarily throw away, but can still be used.

Today's post is about onion skins. I knew that I wanted to knit some socks for my brother, but didn't have the orange yarn that he wanted. I did, however, have some off-white yarn and onion skins. I also wanted there to be some brown in the mix. Imagine my husband's surprise when he came home to a pot full of onion skins, tea, and yarn!

To make the dye, you boil your onion skins for about five to ten minutes. Then, let the mixture cool down to room temperature. Next, submerge your yarn and bring to a slow boil. Allow to boil for about ten minutes. Cool again before washing.
