More experimenting, the acids, alcohol, longer times.. the yellows must be dyed away first to reveal other colors, possibly..Leenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266878515009058403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-42835423436668770712012-04-17T14:20:12.305+03:002012-04-17T14:20:12.305+03:00reminds me a bit of the effect when dyeing with re...reminds me a bit of the effect when dyeing with red leaves - they look red in the dye bath, but usually the pigment that attaches to the wool - dyes green! maybe the red pigment in the birch bath would attach differently, when using more acids? or alcohol? birches don't like our climate/soil much, at least the ones around here start to look sickly after a few years:(Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-68775778400770675102012-04-15T11:54:01.543+03:002012-04-15T11:54:01.543+03:00Thanks Ladka:)Thanks Ladka:)Leenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266878515009058403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-46473618875454900252012-04-14T22:13:50.715+03:002012-04-14T22:13:50.715+03:00The colours are lovely!

And the bath seems to give at least three of those tannin colors.<br /><br />Kiitos Pia ja Tiina:) Ai sä olet keittänyt kunnolla, hmm, no nyt mun on pakko kokeilla tuoreita keittämällä korkeassa pHssa, josko saisin niin tuota kullankeltaista, kun mäkin olen tosiaan saanut tuoreista vain tuota kylmempää aiemmin. Keruuajankohtakin voi vaikuttaa, sitäkin pitäisi kokeilla..Leenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266878515009058403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-65349660349248633492012-04-14T19:19:46.852+03:002012-04-14T19:19:46.852+03:00Kaunis keltainen, pitääpä kokeilla :)Kaunis keltainen, pitääpä kokeilla :)Tiinahttp://www.puhde.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-30894624161779902972012-04-14T19:18:38.403+03:002012-04-14T19:18:38.403+03:00Jännä kuinka erilaisia värejä saa samasta koivunle...Jännä kuinka erilaisia värejä saa samasta koivunlehtiliemestä. Itse olen värjännyt vain tuoreilla lehdillä ja väri muistuttaa tuota alimmaista. Muistini mukaan olen keittänyt niitä ihan kunnolla.Piahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983926275988272994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-34769637564904841612012-04-14T19:11:18.008+03:002012-04-14T19:11:18.008+03:00It looks like the yarns in afterbath 2 were finall...It looks like the yarns in afterbath 2 were finally absorbing more of the tannins after most of the yellows were previously exhausted. Thanks for sharing your experiments! Lovely colours.Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.com
