Day 6:
Dye colour: Black Tea Brown. There's nothing more British than a good old cuppa, and on fibres the tea leaves produce a long lasting brown dye. I source mine from local cafe's at the end of the day, as once the taste is extracted for tea drinkers there is still plenty of pigment to be found. I then compost the remaining leaves.
