Dyeing with birch, again

Again the colours does not look right in the picture. Will try again later - the Green is much warmer and yellowish in reality.
I used the same procedure as last time I dyed with birch, the same amount of plantmaterial, but as you see the yellow colour is lighter. The leafs are from another tree and I picked them two weeks later then the others. Just a good example on how small things can effect the result. The green colour was achieved by treating the yarn and fabric with iron afterwards.

Wow - det ser virkelig godt ud. Syntes det er cool som det med jernvitriol tager godt på ved høren. Glæder mig til at se det in real

Ja, var også glædeligt overrasket. Det er nogle rigtig fine grønne farver i virkeligheden. Farven på billederne er ikke helt rigtig - desværre.
