Collected some pokeberries in a canning jar with vinegar water mix (1:3), let it sit a few days and strained. Very nice shade of purple! Put 1 oz Merino wool in overnight and dried. Tried some bamboo, but either the mordant was wrong or bamboo does not take well to natural dyes. Never bothered to research it, just had it handy and went with it. Finally got a pair of hand cards so did a 60/40 blend of the merino to (white)bamboo and currently hanging to dry is a 2 ply 48yd skein. Strange that the NiddyNoddy pic is more true to life, background and flash will do that to ya.
