Dyes

Brazilwood=Red

Clear Christmas reds to garnet deep red with alum; pink with tin.

Not very fast to light, but fine for clothes, wall hangings and needlework (don't use for window curtains). The chips need to be soaked overnight, and the water drained before the first extraction takes place. The extract is recommended by Cheryl, as it is very strong and the colours are equal to the wood, which needs a lot of boiling to extract.

SOAK overnight before extracting. Not very strong, expect to use about equal by weight of dye to fibre.
