siankärsamö (Achillea millefolium)
kallioisokarve (Parmelia saxatilis)
krappi eli värimatara (Rubia tinctorum)
krappi jälkiliemi + keltasipuli (Allium cepa)
marja-aronia (Aronia mitschurinii): katsotaan pysyykö väri
I have made small, 20 gram skeins out of Pirtin Kehräämö sock yarn (TEX 2) and I make dye tests from time to time when I have enough of the plants. Some plants, especially the lichens, are slow to gather as only a little can be taken from one place for reasons of sustainability. Here are the results from the past few weeks' cookings. Top down:
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
Parmelia saxatilis
Dyer's madder
Dyer's madder second rinse and yellow onion(Allium cepa)
Chokeberry (Aronia mitschurinii): we'll see if the colour lasts
