>>I don't think the edible parts were red enough to make much of a dye pot. the seeds aren't used for dye, its the skin that is used.<<
So here's my question(s)--the seeds stain fingers red for days after eating them. Skin is comprised of some protein. Does this mean that pomegranates, even though they're a plant, when used as a dye, are really a protein/acid dye? Would a sufficient number of seeds, provide an adequate amount of dye material? If the skin is use for dyeing, should it be placed in a cheese cloth sack, in the dye pot? If it's a plant dye, what type of mordant should be used? wrnk d2 (off to find some old cotton t-shirts, and some white wool) To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
