In reference roughly to 12th - 14th centuries. I have been eyeing a lovely
piece of magenta wool. My herbal book says this color can be attained using
dandelion - the whole plant with no mordant.
1. are there any historical references for this color? I know that dandelion
flowers produce a yellow dye.
2. no mordant implies that it would not be color fast.
3. are there any historical references to a magenta like color being produced
with some other dye stuff?
Or any suggestions where I might look for more information?

clothing!)
