Did you know that you can dye your own clothing right in your very kitchen? And what’s more, you can do so with very simple ingredients and even a “weed”! Given Tolkien’s famous distaste for industry, it stands to reason that most residents of Middle-earth would have purchased or traded for dyed clothing from artisans and craftspeople. Join Kili in this new episode of Happy Hobbit to learn how to utilize this oft-overlooked springtime plant to make your own (Middle-)earth tones.
Happy Hobbit has brought Middle-earth to its viewers’ daily lives since joining TheOneRing.net in 2012!

For example, Kili recently shared a video echoing what many of us “old timers” feel about the nostalgia of marking the 25th anniversary of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
