Eco Dyeing with Pyracantha ‘Orange Glow’ Leaves Part 5

Eco Dyeing with Pyracantha ‘Orange Glow’ Leaves Part 5

My last post on this shrub (I promise)

Mostly photos of the results 

that I obtained using various

mordants and modifiers.

 (click on the photo for a larger view)

 I picked up some color paint samples

from Lowes - just to show the color

a little better.

By adding Alum to one dye bath and

fresh lemon juice to the other - you 

can see how it lightened the color.

Ammonia - a little mottled

 

Nothing in dye bath

And that concludes my experiments

with Pyracantha.

It will be interesting to see if 

the colors are the same in the Spring.
