That just may lock & set the color! 👍<br />I’m going too try this with some Baby Lamb Fleece I just bought to spin into yarn! <br />The heat setting of the lamb fiber will be the challenge here I think! 🤔Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02541494719086723606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401911.post-17698739665986775592011-05-11T07:09:49.952-07:002011-05-11T07:09:49.952-07:00Love how you just tackle things and share you resu...Love how you just tackle things and share you results! thankstonyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401911.post-40972137027964159122011-05-07T13:00:58.202-07:002011-05-07T13:00:58.202-07:00Beautiful color.

When I experimented with beet juice on cotton many years ago (became strips of rag-doll hair at the time), it retained the vibrant colour only for a limited time until ultimately it began to dull somewhat. There's sure to be a product that will stabilize though and perhaps it could be worth rinsing it through at this stage even?Carole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401911.post-76508008064822371912011-05-05T11:53:48.180-07:002011-05-05T11:53:48.180-07:00Yummy, yummy, colors!

I just love beet borscht, so I'd rather eat mine. Then there's pomegranate cosmos, so you see, I'll probably stick to synthetic dyes. ;-)Cheryl Razmushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569568671357207377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401911.post-77735048274010316092011-05-05T09:41:03.448-07:002011-05-05T09:41:03.448-07:00I can tell you from experience that this combo is ...I can tell you from experience that this combo is fugitive.

Lightfastness? Only time will tell on that one! You can get the same color WITH lightfastness and washfastness from cochenille. While I can't advocate eating beets (ewww!), I <b>know</b> I'd rather drink the Pom juice and use bugs for dye.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing back memories of the two years I spent investigating natural dyes!Wabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03327252328190944633noreply@blogger.com
