My dear child brought her mother a bagful of juniper stems from her trip to the countryside to experiment with. I took half of them, soaked for 3 days, then cooked for an hour. I forgot the pot on the terrace for a week, dyed on 9 Sep 2009 using premordant yarns as with reed flowers. Below is a picture that illustrates the basic resemblance of colour between juniper (below) and reed flowers (above). Juniper gave deeper and a bit more brownish colour.
Again, llama silk blend (light nut brown) and the natural white wool (soft yellow) worked out the best, but with juniper, also the Kainuunharmas grey turned into a not so bad soft woodland green.
