Organic Dyeing With Turmeric

I never learn! I like to feel the cloth and my dye ingredients with my hands while I work. But I can never get the color out for a few days.
Good thing my favorite color is a golden yellow. Today we dyed a white blouse that was made with an old tablecloth, crocheted bedspread, and a table runner.
These things will be up for sale at the Woods Hole artist market this weekend.
