Ever get the book on Dye Plants?


yes, i just got it. thank you! i really like how it's "bound".
that's handy when you want it to stay open.
some of the listed plants aren't native here, but quite a few
are or aren't that uncommon as garden plants, so i should get
some use out of it. it should be interesting to see if i get
the same colors on the common weed types, because soil & water
pH affect the dye colors from plant materials
yesterday the kid & i dyed some yarn with cake frosting
dyes... oh my, bright colors. yellow, spring green, sky blue &
violet... makes the walnut hull dyed yarn look a bit drab

It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.
