Well, the standard dark brown from walnuts (I just used walnut hull
juice to stain a couple of baskets and that turned out very well.) Also
marigold for yellow and turmeric for gold. Pirella (sp?) is supposed to
give green but I don't think I have enough to harvest this year. If I
have time to gather it, I'll try the fungusy/mossy stuff that is thick
on the bark of our oak firewood.
I understand that different people will bring different dyestuffs to
share. In years past there was madder and logwood available.
