This week I’m modifying the silk swatches and sashiko threads from the 30 Days 30 Dyes project using citric acid.

Citric acid gently shifts the colours in a different direction from iron, brightening some tones and softening others. It’s a simple step that reveals how acidity can transform natural dyes in beautiful, unexpected ways.

Join me as we explore how these fibres continue to evolve, one modification at a time.
