This is a recipe I found for making a dye using banana peels. I haven't tried it yet, so if you do, please let me know the results. Difficulty Level: Average Time Required: 3 days

Here's How: Chop banana skins into small pieces. Cover them with water and let the mixture sit for a few days in a warm location, stirring the mixture each day. The mixture will get a bit smelly, so it is best to store it outside, covered. You can add some baking soda and sugar to the mixture. Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or nylons stocking to remove the pulp. Add the liquid to a dyepot filled with water. Simmer for x-about an hour. Add clean, premordanted wool to the dyepot. Simmer for an hour or until sufficient colour is obtained. Allow the dyepot to cool. Then remove the dyed wool. Rinse and let dry.

Tips: Using different mordants will produce different colours. Alum - beige, Tin - gold, Iron - grey, brown, Blue vitriol - Dark brown.
