I used indigo, madder root, cochineal and coreopsis flowers to dye this lovely tussah silk yarn.  The draft is one of my favourites from the book "Weaving with Echo and Iris" by Marian Stubenitsky

Hi, Tisserande

You are acheiving some amazing color effects - wonderful! Would love to see this in person. Are you creating iridescence effects? Do you have plans for the finished cloth?

Weave on!

Thanks for your nice comments - yes I have got some iridescence, the colours are more muted than I am used to but that is the beauty of natural dyeing - they sort of glow but don't photograph that well!!
