shades of late-summer berries... testing...


Dye News update

I did some test dyeing with late summer berries


pokeweed berries - brambles and elderberries

after fermentation of the berries I've put some lace merino for one day in the glass jars
I only used an acid dye-vat (with vinegar)

here's the final result:

dyed with elderberries (dark old rose)- onion skin (fantastic orange)- poke weed (purple)- brambles (pink)

I love these colours, they look great together !
what do you think? 


lace merino dyed with poke weed
not washed yet



the same yarn - after it was washed and placed in full daylight for one week, but no sunlight

I'm quite happy with the results !
