Saskatoon dye

One last dye sample to add to the repertoire. I was fortunate to get 3 ice cream pails of culled berries from Alison who has a Saskatoon berry farm. (I also bought 3 pails of good berries to eat. Hunter helped with picking too. Yummy!)

Here is a photo of the glorious colours that they produced. Wow!


Centre yarn is alum mordant.  
Top left is with baking soda, top right is with vinegar.  
Bottom left is with copper sulphate and bottom right is with iron sulphate.



Hunter helps pick berries with his new John Deere gardening gloves.
