Elderberry

I was getting so fed up of dyeing yellows the other day, that I scrabbled around in my store cupboard and found some dried elderberries. Just the thing for some good strong purples, or so I thought! I applied my usual processes and came up with some rather striking greens. Form the left, mordanted with alum, with copper, with alum + tin and  alum + iron.
