How Do You Extract Dye From Onion Skins?
For a brilliant gold or yellow color, turn to the common onion for a natural source. Peel the skins from several yellow onions. Lay them out on a cookie sheet or tray to dry in a place with good air circulation. Put the skins in a nylon stocking and tie the top shut. Boil them in a stockpot with 2 quarts of water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the stocking.
