'True' reds are hard to come by ...Hi Karen,<br />'True' reds are hard to come by from plants in my garden or the local farmer's market. Tradionally people used insect dyes like cochaneal from the New World or Kermes from Europe. Lac, I think from Asia. Madder root is also very good. I don't think I can grow madder here...hmmm. I once started planting a dye garden. Maybe it's time to start another one.Safi Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359540495285141283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026443052503839891.post-19493126506955576932009-08-19T05:33:56.604-07:002009-08-19T05:33:56.604-07:00So beautiful!

Funny that the red zinnias changed to yellow. Are true reds hard to come by in the plant world? I am a yarn dye ignoramus, obviously.Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
