Oxalis Corniculata in the Dyepot

Commonly known as sour grass...

 Granddaughter and I decided to try to dye some of the singles we'd plied that afternoon.
So out into the garden we go to collect and chew on some sour grass. I picked a small basket of the flowers and after simmering the yarn in some alum from the kitchen herb shelf, we put the two together into a tin can and simmered it on the stove for 30 mins.

 The wool sat in the dyepot "ooze" for 24 hours and came out just the brightest yellow. It glows just like the flowers.

I'll post some photos when the yarn is dry. A fun and tasty, if somewhat sour, adventure.
