==4/ Weigh of fibre ===
1/3 of the dry fabric weight

==5/ Dip onion peelings in hot water ==

==7/Immerse the fabric in water ==

{{:fabricademy2017:students:julie.taris:julie-taris-natural-dyes-20171124_153519-_11_.jpg?200|}}
==8/soak the fabric in water and gently stir until the dye is evenly distribute ==
==9/take the fabric out of the bath and rinse it with warm, clear water ==
==10/allow the fabric to dry ==
==11/the kurkuma dyeing is of an intense yellow and the onion dyeing is light yellow ==
we can see that turmeric and onion dyeing is darker on cotton fibre than synthetic fibre.
