Yarn, burnt and unburnt, colored by refrigerated antiquities



Here is a variety of dye experiments:
onion wool, onion cotton (another blog, another day), a burned poke berry wool, blueberry juice wool, and icky sugar-free preserves-dyed wool, followed by smelly red poke berries. The two last hanks, on the right, were an old juice in the fridge that was about a year old, sitting quietly on the unused bottom shelf of the fridge. The preserves weren't all that, they were probably a couple years older, and I was about to toss them when I cleaned out said neglected fridge, but was in a mad mood to see what colors they could make. I should try the encrusted bottle of grenadine next. Another blog, another day.
