Well, I got some nice tannin golds from the persimmon. I used a bit of iron with one skein. They are displayed on top of a southern Lao cotton blanket. These skeins are destined to be over dyed with drought lichen to see what other color combinations lurk here in my valley.
[…] I do filter and just dye with the liquid, just submerge yard or fabric in and circulate. You will see color strike. It is like an indigo or walnut bath, a substantive bath so no prep necessary. You can experiment with overdyeing, mordant or afterbaths for other color variation. At this point I discard the fruit. https://debmcclintock.me/2012/09/02/greens-over-or-under/ https://debmcclintock.me/2011/08/18/no-black-yet/ […]
