Alas! The black I was after!
Silk Charmeuse,Sumac Leaf Dye. Batch 3. Washed & Ironed.
Left, cotton. Right, silk charmeuse.
Detail 1.The black is actually blacker than it shows here but if I made it blacker it lost the gold color, so…
Batch 3 was the first batch with more iron added and with a strong iron carrier cloth. It took some persistence but I think it was worth it. Adding to my pleasure was the carrier cloth (iron blanket) itself!
