How to Naturally Dye with Lungwort: Exploring a Magical Lichen ​⁠

Lungwort, aka Lobaria pulmonaria, is a large leafy-like lichen. In areas where it grows plentifully, such as the Pacific Northwest, it can be foraged from the forest floor and dyes a rich orangey brown. In some parts of the world, is it more rare and of conservation concern so please check your region before foraging.
Easy to dye with as it requires no mordant, working with this lichen is a fun way to celebrate and learn about our forests as it gives your fiber an unbelievably rich forest smell.

Please never cook using any of your dye equipment and always store your plants, lichens and mushrooms safely. Always be careful when working with hot liquids and don't ever leave your heating sources unattended.
