day seventeen

My blackcurrants have been prolific this year, so much so that they were a job to keep up with for a few days! I made some jam, cordial and then had a go at dyeing some wool using the pulp left after making the cordial (right skein) I thought that if I used fresh whole blackcurrants the colour would be darker but this produced the skein on the left! don't think I used enough blackcurrants in this batch. both were mordanted with alum
