Sad, very very sad.
Granted, i had a really small amount of roots, but i’m not sure (yet) that this was worth it! This “red” has a quite brown tone to it, but of course, the proof will be in using it. I’m still waiting for pre-mordanted fabrics to be finished 🙂
I’m thinking however, that whatever results i get, this was a valuable experiment in growing my own dye, processing it, and using it. You don’t know if you don’t try!
albedo too 
Sometimes “sad” colors are just the thing for landscape inspired stitching … true colors of the earth (I’m an eternal optimist btw)

HA! Nothing wrong with soft/neutral–i’ve used them quite often, but after all this effort in growing for 3 years, and the extracting, i better get a definite colour, whether it’s pink or coral or whatever 🙂
