Birch

"Beneath you birch with silver bark
And boughs so pendulous and fair,
The brook falls scattered down the rock:
and all is mossy there."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Birch Jar unpacked! T'was much less smelly than the madder and easier to dimantle. I like the warm earthy tones on the the scraps of crochet lace and silk velvet.

The range between the darkest (Silk) to lightest (cotton) is quite pronounced. Again, a lovely range across the different fabrics in the same dye jar, though the hues are generally softer and lighter than other plant-stuffs I've tried.

Some of the details with the leaves shown here are less pronounced than in the madder jar, but this jar had less time on the shelf. I was too excited to wait for this one so I simmered it for a bit after only a week on the shelf.

This is a piece of silk that I bundled with rose petals; I love the delicacy of rose petal prints.

I've also dismantled the Eucalyptus jar and I'm really pleased with it so I will post that one here shortly.
