It turns out to be more of a stain then a color, and it washes off fast. I found out that wool holds the color very well. I do have a black walnut tree on the property. We have yet to do anything with it. I better get on that huh?Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-87699971380271296052011-10-19T06:39:04.018-07:002011-10-19T06:39:04.018-07:00The very early shoots of poke are edible in spring...The very early shoots of poke are edible in spring, but the rest of the plant is quite toxic. The color you achieved from the berries is spectacular! Does using the vinegar make the color set? Black walnut hulls can be used to dye fabric, along with some mushrooms.
