I use them when they are black and shrivelled.

I once tried sowing some pokeberry seeds, but no luck - after seeing your results, I might try again in spring. Never tried cochineal, maybe I should start growing prickly pears and start a beetle farm - no, lets be realistic, this is South Wales, I should do a proper trial of blackberries with vinegar.Fran Rushworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742656242582509967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975233729836030720.post-52230685081165822662018-09-01T18:53:44.733+01:002018-09-01T18:53:44.733+01:00I always love reading your blog posts!

You make it feel like we're friends over for a chat and afternoon of dyeing adventures!<br /><br />I know vinegar isn't a mordant, but it does seem to work as a fixative for some dyes. You have to use a really high concentration (at least 1:1 vinegar to water, maybe even straight vinegar) as a pre-treatment. I did a bunch of pokeberry dye baths last year, and though it wasn't nearly as lightfast as I'd like it to be, I have some sitting right next to me that has only faded slightly in the past year from the ambient room light. Here's the Ravelry project page I made with some of my experiments and findings: https://www.ravelry.com/people/KaraHobbs/stash/pokeberry-dye.<br /><br />Don't give up on the berries yet! But if you do have indigo and cochineal... those are probably better options ;-).Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03481029995823759150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975233729836030720.post-28994694522844499242018-09-01T12:51:02.524+01:002018-09-01T12:51:02.524+01:00Now that is interesting - it did seem mad, so many...Now that is interesting - it did seem mad, so many people talking about vinegar as a mordant. Since vinegar actually did prolong the colour of your berry dyes I suppose you do have to call that a mordant effect. I'd guess that must be by strengthening the original dye colour in a modifier manner, but who really knows with plant dyes? Have to agree that a few months preservation is still not long enough to tempt me to knit purple patterns :)Fran Rushworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742656242582509967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975233729836030720.post-89688664064275989122018-09-01T12:12:31.964+01:002018-09-01T12:12:31.964+01:00ach, the berry dyes:( I love purple, so of course ...ach, the berry dyes:( I love purple, so of course I fell for dyeing with blackberries, when I started out! mine turned to a more grey than beige colour, but they did change. after several tries I have given up on them completely, esp. because we don't usually have so many sloes and a lot of elderberries that I can spare them for dyeing. I did have more success though with pokeberries and mahonia! I put them into vinegar for several weeks and dyed as usual on alum mord. wool/silk. the silk kept the dye better than wool and it lasted much longer compared to the berry baths without vinegar "stew". but they still don't last forever and a few more months don't make a lot of difference to me. I am not going to make heirlooms that have to last centuries, but if the colour has changed after a year or two - it's still a waste of time and material to my mind... so back to cochineal and indigo, nothing for it:) Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.com
