strawberry dye

Below are pictures of my wool skein, dyed pink with natural strawberry dye. It was (of course) a nicer pink before I rinsed it. I did save the dye, and am thinking of dipping it in the dye a second time after it dries to see if I can get a darker color.

In the pic below you can see the section i tied with cotton, and you can see the difference in how well the cotton took the color vs. the wool. I think I'll be dyeing exclusively with wool from now on! :)
