Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs

As a fiber artist, I have used natural dyes to color handspun yarn. I have dyed with onion skins, indigo, coffee, usnea, wolf moss, and tumeric; however, I never thought of using natural dyes on eggs before. In fact, I am embarrassed that I did not think of it myself, but Martha Stewart did! Last year was the first year we dyed Easter eggs, at my daughter’s request. Against my will, I bought food coloring, as I felt guilty for denying her so many holiday traditions in the past. This year, we will use natural dyes on eggs bought locally from a friend.
