I eco dyed with whole poppy flowers last year, and I had some remarkable results. Or, perhaps I should have guessed beforehand, since they are quite purple underneath the stamens, but I was surpriced to find a lovely purple when unwrapping my fabric. I think Sonia may be right about the heat, looking forward to se your results :)Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17939390471914205973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29961222.post-21050744016456070922012-05-30T12:27:23.532-07:002012-05-30T12:27:23.532-07:00I think I can hear black beans calling my name ......I think I can hear black beans calling my name ... but I need to find them here first !! What a superb color to work with. Well done on the dyeing.<br />About poppy petals, I think petals don't like heat, at all. I tried solar dyeing with them last year, it was nice. I/you should try to freeze them in ice cubes, and then use them as solar dyeing, they might release more color.<br />Looking forward to follow your summer of natural dyeing. We're on the same boat :) So glad about that !<br />xoxoSonia / COZY MEMORIEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442300389429354564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29961222.post-61141644837786542062012-05-29T23:13:43.140-07:002012-05-29T23:13:43.140-07:00im loving your purple greys. that's the new bl...im loving your purple greys. that's the new blue!leFiligreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17430020133102799668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29961222.post-32425327545446816572012-05-29T16:39:15.604-07:002012-05-29T16:39:15.604-07:00I love to see the process..

How do you know which mordant to set it with or is that trial and error or do you have many different choices there too? My Aunt used to dye wool many years ago but I was too young to take notice and now she is not around to learn from.<br />JenniJennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933243243697227084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29961222.post-62422278036677378442012-05-29T15:00:09.434-07:002012-05-29T15:00:09.434-07:00Mmmmmm love to see all these pots of colour !
