Oak Bark

Yesterday, I dyed four skeins with oak bark, using my standard four skein method. I'd hoped for shades of grey, but what I got was yet more brown. Admittedly, the colours (second photo down) were stronger, warmer shades of brown than my first batch (immediately below). My winter weaving should make great camouflage for a bird watcher! From the left, the second batch was mordanted with alum, copper, alum and tin and alum plus iron.
