I am really happy with how my beetroot hand dyeing experiment went. It produced a really variegated range of colours from mushroom to pumpkin. I can't wait to knit it into something.
I followed the same method as mentioned in the post below.
I used one tablespoon of alum, as a pre-mordant, with two medium sized beetroots, grated, and about four cups of water, which produced enough dye for one 200gm hanks.
Love the colours from the beetroot and the raspberries. I'm going to try dyeing some wool soon, so thanks for the pointers. :)
