I am often amazed that even if I do not know what I am doing, I end up with these colors (which I love)!

1. Washed the alpaca hair in warm water for about 20 minutes
2. Prepared black Ashford acid dye:
I used just a knife point but quite a LOT of water
3. Prepared the dye bath:
Mixed Ashford acid dye, water and 1 table spoon of white vinegar and added then (!) the alpaca hair
4. Stirred the hair constantly for about 30 minutes while water startet to boil
5. The result was disappointing, the color was patchy and not grey, more some kind of purple
6. Next try: Rit Dye Pearl Grey
Filled the pot with fresh warm water, 1/2 cup of salt, 1 tablespoon of laundry detergent and the dye and added then (!) the washed (!) alpaca hair
7. Stirred the hair constantly for about 15 minutes because I liked the color
8. Rinsed the hair in warm water for about 10 minutes, then I washed it twice with warm water and detergent. And then I washed it with shampoo and conditioner and blow-dried it.
I am really happy with the result!

from left..white pieces are not dyed at all....
yellow are dyed with chaga...and the green iis both dyed with chaga and overdyed with a weak iron solution...
I have used fabric...wool ( both wool that have been in an Alum solution before the dyeing proces and wool that has not got any Alum)..
I have used cotton and linen ( no Alum used for these fabrics)...cotton is lowest row at the left…
at the right you see two kinds of linen ( I normally use it for my canvas for painting)..the most upper ones is without dyeing and the next is with chaga and under those is chaga and iron ( made the color olive-green)..a coarse kind of linen and a more fine one…
The result is that it actually did not have any need to give wool some alum here...the colors were the same for both with alum and without...what did have some importance was how long the fabric stayed into the dyeing bath of Chaga….some did stay in there for 24 hours and some for 5 x 24 hours….and those staying in the dyeing bath for 5x24 hours did get a more saturated color...not darker, despite these many hours, but a better and more deep kind of the color….
And compared to what I had expected when putting the fabric into the dye-bath and seeing it turn almost dark.brownish black...it turn out kind of yellow, not even brown…..but I think it is a good dye even though….especially for wool it is satisfactory…..
Normally if I dye on fabric like cotton or linen..i will give them first some solution of bark or leaves from either oak or alder or something like it...plant-material that has some tannins...and then i will dry it and after that i will give it some alum...then it will be ready for taking up the dye as much as it can….some dyeing plant.materials doesn´t need those 3 processes...an ex. can be leaves and husks from Walnut...my experience...some others probably too...
Dyers Transport's new Kenworth K200 Aerodyne makes a move on the Ring Road around Melbourne. Looks sweet in the Dyers colours!!
In celebration of 100 years of Bromley bus garage an open and running day took place with many preserved vehicles in service. RM1804 804 DYE worked two complete rounders over route 61 between Chislehurst and Bromley North and a shorter trip from Chislehurst to Bromley Common and return. This view finds RM1804 waiting time in Perry Hall Road, Orpington working the 0947 Chislehurst 'Gordon Arms' to Bromley North. Our tally at the end of the day was 524 passengers carried and five dogs! Saturday 14th September 2024. DSCN60320.

Walked into my favorite cafe on Sunday and there was a traditional dyeing workshop going on.
Harukisan hand dyes textiles the old fashioned way (well, except for all the plastic buckets) going as far foraging for his own roots and barks to create his dyes.
I actually can't remember exactly where this is; I'll have to do some research. But the colors of India are so unmistakable, that I'd at least be able to narrow that down even if it were lost among all of my files.
If you know where this monument is, you can help me geotag this image too!
Workers tanning and dyeing leather in Fes, Morocco. It is difficult for tourists to actually go into the dyeing area, but there are a number of leather shops with balconies where you can watch the action in the pits.

Dyeing with Elderberries, September 2008
Sunday September 7
Van and I picked the elderberries. We collected 4 pots full of them! Once processed this came out to 2 pots full of berries. One pot worth was put in the freezer to use later, the other was covered in water and left to soak. There's probably still another pot worth left on the tree. The ones in the freezer will probably be for a dye day with a couple members of my spinning and weaving guild.
Tuesday September 9
Boiled the berries to create the dye liquid. Left it to cool overnight.
I noticed that the liquid changed colour when I placed the stirring spoon onto a piece of paper. Bill suggested it might be PH sensitive.
We experimented with vinegar and baking soda. The vinegar made the liquid go towards magenta. The baking soda made it go through purple, blue purple, blue, and bluish green with stronger concentrations.
I decided I would split the dye bath in two and dye yarns that way - one acid bath, one base bath.
Wednesday September 10
Squeezed and removed all the berries from the liquid.
Thursday September 11 - Dye Day!
There was about 22 cups of dye liquid in the pot. I split this up and put 11 cups into another container.
Yarns used:
Briggs and Little Sport - 100% wool single, 2 sample skeins
Cascade Yarns Cascade 220 worsted weight - 100% Peruvian Highland Wool, 2 skeins
Fortissima Socka - 75% superwash wool, 25% Polyamid (nylon), 4 skeins
Malabrigo Silky Merino - 51% silk, 49% merino wool as a single, 1 skein
Yarnworkshop.com Footscray - 75% superwash wool/ 25% nylon fingering sock yarn, 1 skein
Yarnworkshop.com Bambaroo - 40% bamboo / 40% superwash wool / 20% nylon fingering sock yarn, 1 skein
Acid Bath
I mixed about 4 tablespoons of citric acid into the first dye pot and added water to bring the pot up to 20 cups of liquid. This amount of citric acid is equivalent to 4 cups of household white vinegar. The dyebath was a nice bright magenta colour.
I did not pre-mordant the yarns. I added the mordant directly to the dyebath.
Dip 1 - 200 grams of fiber
Mordant - 20 grams alum, 10 grams cream of tartar (10% alum, 5% cream of tartar)
Skeins
A1 Fortissima Socka - 1/2 skein
A2 Yarnworkshop.com Footscray
A3 Malabrigo Silky Merino
A4 sample skein
Dip 2 - 200 grams of fiber
Mordant - 12 grams alum, 6 grams cream of tartar (6% alum, 3% cream of tartar)
I also added another teaspoon of citric acid to the dyebath.
Skeins
A5 Cascade 220
A6 Fortissima Socka
When rinsing the skeins the magenta colour rinsed away and the skeins were left in lavender / mauve shades. It looks like the dye component of the liquid was not affected by the PH changes.
The skeins of the first dip have a duller cast to them. I find this is usual for elderberries. The first dip gets rid of all the other dye colours from leaves, stems, etc. The second dip has clear colours.
There was still a lot of colour in the dyepot, so a third dip might have been possible.
Base Bath
I mixed about 4 tablespoons of baking soda into the second dye pot, and added water to bring the pot up to 20 cups of liquid. The dyebath was deep slate blue.
I did not pre-mordant the yarns. I added the mordant directly to the dyebath. I used iron and alum as the mordant.
Dip 1 - 250 grams of fiber
I goofed and thought there was only 200 grams of fiber.
Mordant - 4 grams iron, 4 grams alum, (thought it was 2% iron, 2% alum, really is 1.6% of each)
Skeins
B1 Fortissima Socka - 1/2 skein
B2 Fortissima Socka
B3 Yarnworkshop.com Bambaroo
B4 sample skein
Dip 2 - 200 grams of fiber
Mordant - 3 grams iron, 3 grams alum, (1.5% iron, 1.5% alum)
Skeins
B5 Fortissima Socka
B6 Cascade 220
Adding the iron has changed the colour to a grayish green blue. Some of them are quite nice. The colours in the second dip were a little darker than the first. I think this was because of more iron in the pot.
There was still a lot of colour in the dyepot, so a third dip might have been possible.
