- As a 15th century reenactor I’m interested in medieval dyes, but also in more modern natural dyes.
Over the past three weeks or so I’ve been experimenting with different natural dyes, so though I’d do a quick catch up to show the colours I made.
My quick catch-up turned into a massive video so I have uploaded it in two parts.
This is part two, in which I share my experiments with fustic, saffron, gardenia and cochineal. Please watch part one to see more on cochineal and madder.

The exhaust dyes are still really lovely! So is that burgundy.
Yep those colours are gorgeous :-)
Thank you for sharing this. How did you get the blue dye with gardenia? What specifically am I looking for? I would like to try the gardenia for blues.
Wow , the gardenia color is amazing. TY for all the showing of yarns and colors you got and how mordant..... Where is gardenia from (flower or lf...)? Do recall reading the first soak from Madder is yellowish. Hope you were well for the next workshop you did!
Did the Spotlight yarn you used, have a 'Superwash' finish? I have noticed with my experiments, that such a finish, [that makes the yarn machine washable, non felting] also makes subsequent skein dyeing darker/bolder/more fuller colour than it otherwise would be, if it was natural.
I’m not sure you read comments anymore, but if you’re still natural dyeing, have you ever tried Lincoln Green? I haven’t tried it, but you make it with weld and indigo, and it makes a bright, grass green. Hope all is well.
Log wood make a bluey purple
My understanding is that gardenia can produce a range of colors. Out of curiosity, how did you get the blue specifically?
Excellent video!
