Sad, very very sad.
Granted, i had a really small amount of roots, but i’m not sure (yet) that this was worth it! This “red” has a quite brown tone to it, but of course, the proof will be in using it. I’m still waiting for pre-mordanted fabrics to be finished 🙂
I’m thinking however, that whatever results i get, this was a valuable experiment in growing my own dye, processing it, and using it. You don’t know if you don’t try!
Sometimes “sad” colors are just the thing for landscape inspired stitching … true colors of the earth (I’m an eternal optimist btw)

HA! Nothing wrong with soft/neutral–i’ve used them quite often, but after all this effort in growing for 3 years, and the extracting, i better get a definite colour, whether it’s pink or coral or whatever 🙂
