The colors are so vivid for natural dyes.

ps. Bravo for referring to them as HORSES and not as PONIES. My relatives don’t take kindly to the latter. The sheep used to live in the bottom of the house in the winter and that would help to keep the family warm upstairs.

I will have to try using some ammonia. I’ve only ever mordanted with alum. I try to use what grows on my 4.5 acre property.

I LOVE the natural dyes. Her colors are more saturated than many that I have seen.
