Description from the creator

Let's make a pink natural dye using avocado pits! This is a fantastic kitchen scrap dye. Kitchen scrap dyes are my favorite plant dyes. Dye your own yarn at home with something you'd otherwise toss in the compost. This dye process takes a little time and patience, but the natural color is worth it.

**I forgot to mention in the video:**
I'm using wool that was first mordanted with alum. Alum helps set the dye and brightens the color.
