I've also gotten way more intense colors by Sheron/Spike/Leonorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406623195758351584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616825052646275582.post-68254377046140272812022-08-01T11:04:16.748-06:002022-08-01T11:04:16.748-06:00Hi Sheron---will bindweed work nicely on alum-mord...Hi Sheron---will bindweed work nicely on alum-mordanted cellulose fibers like cotton or linen?<br />Thanks,<br />Mary in BoulderAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204642571218929523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616825052646275582.post-15081098603365813062013-06-29T21:38:05.733-06:002013-06-29T21:38:05.733-06:00Hi Erik,

If it molds, then I would dispose of it.<br /><br />Sounds like you should get good color with that bindweed growing with meager resources. <br /><br />Good luck!Sheron Buchele Rowlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03563962252969628463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616825052646275582.post-40184850706500612662013-06-29T21:20:47.206-06:002013-06-29T21:20:47.206-06:00Hi Sheron,
