FUN ! Like all your showing steps. Have any cotton or linen... to experiment on with those dyes? I used to get orangish pink with Dock roots on wool but dont think used alum. Am going to try the sagebrush in yard next that I trim.
Gorgeous! Is alum or an equivalent necessary for the color to hold? Would you be able to use citric acid or vinegar instead do the soak in process have to take place in the sun? I’m just thinking about the winter months in MI haha
The alum isn’t technically necessary, but it will help your colours really sink into the fabric and hold. It also doesn’t need to be in the sun but it’ll take a lot longer! Again the heat just helps the process along!

I dyed wool with them! Definitely want to try cotton shirts come time. Using alum definitely changes the outcome!
