This was a total trial and error process. orgiginally, i attempted to dye this glaringly white tee shirt i got from folk musician Travis Ward (of the Boise band Hillfolk Noir) in a honey chamomile tea. i used three bags but the tea just wasn't strong enough. it only made it a wee bit off white. so later i brewed up a big ol' VERY STRONG pot of coffee and soaked my shirt in it for about 15 minutes, rinsed it, and threw it in the drier. fabulous!
