Solar Dyeing



I put this jar of yarn and some ric rac out on Monday when it was 39 degrees.  The next couple of days were cooler, but still warm, then in typical Melbourne weather we have had a couple of cold days.  Not sure how long to leave it out, hoping for some nicer days.  It is actually a blackberry dye bath with citric acid mordant. It was purple right up until I put the yarn in.  So the dishwashing liquid I washed the yarn in before changed the ph level of the water and now it is orange/pink.
