More Madder

I've been busy with a short course on Eco-printing, for which I had to buy some madder extract. I thought I'd see if it made a difference to the colours I obtained, as I've not been managing to get a good red from madder roots. The extract gave me some delightfully intense colours with alum, copper and tin mordants, and also when I over dyed some of my woad skeins that I thought were a bit insipid. It is well worth experimenting!
