Bundle dyeing is one of the most fun and satisfying ways of using plant matter to transfer colour to your fiber. The results are literally pure magic and the nature of this process makes it perfect for professional projects or fun family activities.
Natural dyes are often described as “living colours” and it’s true. They have a charm and personality very unlike synthetic dyes with the much higher energetic frequency of life … and love if you’re into that kinda thing!
They are really easy to work with and non-toxic which is a big draw for a lot of people. They will never have the same permanence as synthetic dyes, they often change or vary over time, they are always dancing and they dance especially harmoniously together.
Bundle dyeing with plants can really open up your creativity. It encourages play and experimentation whilst deepening your relationship to nature and it’s alchemy.
BillyNou is about the wonderful process of natural dyeing I do for my brand, life, motherhood and the trails and errors of making and crafting.
I’d like to inspire others to become more conscientious, to find a connection with nature and benefit from this immense and totally accessible energy.

I’ve been told many many times in life that as a proud long curly haired man that there is no appropriate way to wear my hair up. To that I respond by using scrunchies and scarves and bows and clips. It’s my hair and wearing it to express myself helps me love me. I’d be honored to rock your scrunchies!

I was doing a marathon of your videos yesterady while drawing, your voice is so calming and your videos are so well made, I do hope I win this creative gift, you made me want to explore even deeper about fashion while honouring our environment, we often overlook the impact clothing dyes have and that any kind of item takes time and care to make.

Haha I love that you were doing a marathon!!

Yesssss! Love this

[@Lousiannie]

I have so enjoyed learning & seeing your process on making things in the most natural ways possible. It is all very inspiring. I can only hope to be able to make useful things someday with caring for the environment & being a part of beautiful nature without causing harm. Respecting the earth, gifts & knowledge of making things from nature .which can be that way for us all... I would love to win this kit & be able to inspire others and spread the message! ~Lucy

I recently found your KZbin channel and have been avidly catching up on all your past videos. Natural dyeing is so interesting to me and I've recently tried avocado dyeing using your tutorial, I found it a really therapeutic process to be honest too. I'd love to give bundle Dyeing a go and dust off my sewing machine to make myself something that I can pass down to my daughter later too.

[@billynou]

I’m really enjoying how many people are finding natural dyes and enjoying the natural dye therapy!! And I love that you’d pass it on to your daughter 🥰

[@rosepalazzolo4579]

Yay! So happy a video on how to sew your amazing big scrunchies is up! I love all your videos! I would love to have a scrunchie kit so I can experiment with sewing a big sized one! It’s so unique!

I would love and be so grateful for this kit as an instrument for teaching my daughter and her friends about botanical dyeing. We love foraging in nature for wild local berries seasonally along with mushrooms and herbs in nature. We've recently done onion, polypore mushrooms, avocado pits and skins and wild berries into dye baths for tidying with wonderful success. I would love to use this for an upcoming online tea party craft tutorial for my daughters friends and their mothers to share thi gor gorgeous product and then to use the seeds for next spring's garden. I enjoy your channel so much. Please continue sharing the peaceful, natural methods with the world. Its beneficial to slow down and appreciate the things we've been given in nature and could easily overlook. Thank you!

[@billynou]

I love that you want to teach your daughters friends too ... this is so so cool and nice and I’m intrigued to see what you achieved with mushrooms! Thank YOU 💛

So I just had my first grandchild and have dug in during quarantine to do some dying projects for him. I absolutely love dying with nature.. and I must admit I'd love to have a scrunchie kit but I'm here because I love your carefree and calming spirit you have and how you share that with the little. Also I got a great chuckle when you said to mortify your flowers if you want (it just hit me in the most humorous way). Thank you for the video!

[@billynou]

Oh! A new granny!! I’m not sure there’s much more exciting in life?? If bills grannies are anything to go by 😅 thanks for you lovely comment 😊

I would love this kit as I have been self teaching myself to dye for the last few months after stumbling on one of your videos on youtube. Not only are your dyes beautiful but your guidance is so helpful and clear that I have managed to make beautiful creations. I would appreciate this kit as I believe it would assist my foundation of dyeing as well as add even more inspiration to this magical path of natural dyes. Thank you for all that you do. You inspire me.

I’m so happy you are back on KZbin! I’ve been waiting for your videos, they’re kind like a meditation to me: I love to just get hooked on the process and see beautiful colors emerge from your pots. I’d love to win a kit, because I’ve never dyed with these plant materials, usually I forage local wild plants. If I do win, I’d be challenged to modify the scrunchie into something I can use myself, as I have very short hair ☺️

Would love to have a go at you're petal dying technique via your scruncie kit! Your videos inspired me to start my own natural dying tool kit this past Spring! So far I've tried dying with onions skins, red cabbage, and black tea. I am a knitter and love the results on wool yarn! Yes, I am now the girl who saves onions skins and keeps avocado pits in the freezer 😊. Great way to pass the time at home during this challenging time and I enjoy the joyful surprise inspired by nature.

I would loooove to win a kit! Ever since watching your channel I’ve fallen in love with botanical dyeing. I’ve used almost all of your methods (soya milk, planting my own indigo, and bundle dyeing, avocado dye, etc.) After a year of therapy for panic attacks and depression, I’ve found your videos, and this hobby to be something that has really grounded me. I’ve tried purchasing some of your products before when I’ve had a little extra and they have been sold out. So I would love to have one of your kits! PS my husband and I love to watch your videos to relax at the end of the day! (We live in Oklahoma!) Thank you for your videos! They are greatly appreciated!

I love everything about this comment, except for, of course, the panic attacks and depression and I really feel honoured that you have found our videos of some help 🙏🏽🤍❤️

[@ciscawieman4241]

I would love to have one for my 10 year old granddaughter. You see, I’m Dutch, living in the Netherlands and normally I’m visiting the children frequently since their grandfather passed away. We do a lot of craftswork together, like acrylic pouring too. I would love to do this with her as well, but in connection with corona I think, I will not be able to visit them for a longer period of time. Wouldn’t it be great if my granddaughter could learn to dye such a scrunchy with this kit and the tutorial herself?! ( I watch you on youtube and do a lot of botanican dyeing at home. Love it!!)

[@billynou]

Your granddaughter is lucky to have such a thoughtful granny! I’m so sorry to hear about their grandfather I’m sure you all miss him so much 🤍💛❤️

[@ciscawieman4241]

@@billynou Thank you for your compassion. He was an amazing husband, dad and granddad and he passed away far to young. He would have loved it, if I picked up the deying and wetfelting again after over 40 years and now share it with the grandchildren. It is strange, but I never shared it with my own children. I hope I will be able to visit them next year.

[@sanjayadukia2430]

Hi billy wanted to know if these colours r permanent or will they wash off

[@billynou]

Hello. Natural dyes are definitely not like synthetic dyes but certain processes can aid in colour fastness and longevity, like mordanting and gentle after care. It’s nice to try and reevaluate ones relationship to colour while working with natural dyes.... eg is it really a bad thing if the colours fade or change over time? I’ve got a few ebooks available you might be interested in if you want a little more info 😊

[@WildRose22S]

Do you need to mordant your fabric or will it just help with color and if so can I do a soy milk bath?

[@billynou]

It’s a good idea to mordant or use soy milk … both will yield different results so it’s worth experimenting 😅

[@billynou]

I meant 🤎 not 😅

Do you sell them?
