Blueberry Experiment.

I've been experimenting with blueberries in the dye pot. The results were not quite what I expected, but pleasing all the same.

After boiling up the berries, straining and then letting the resulting dye cool I put in some Merino fibres a piece of wool blanket and a piece of embroidered linen.
After heating for a while then leaving to soak over night I then split the Merino into two and put one piece back into the dye along with a little soda crystals heated it again and these are the results below.
The wool blanket went dark muddy pink, the linen light soft pink, the embroidery on it changed very little.                                                      
  The fibre modified with the crystals turned from a soft dusky pink to soft dusky green.
