Turmeric Dye

 Boiling turmeric powder in water on the stove.
 Steaming the yarn.
 Pillowcases and Aida in the simmering water.
Turmeric yellow is such a happy color! Now, what to do with all my yummy yellow goodness!

I used about a 1/2 cup of turmeric powder and steamed/simmered my items for approximately 30 minutes. I didn't use any kind of mordant so I'm not too sure how lasting the color will be, but we'll see.
