Hi, your site is so helpful!
The inner pith of Sumac branches can produce a super bright yellow
color. Also, the berries are listed under pink/red, but mine
have actually turned both a grey and a yellow-y color. I didn't
not use any mordents for these, and I steeped them for about
2 days in a hot bath, but the color was great. Thanks for the
info on all the rest!

Huckleberry gives a good lavender color and I have used it not
only for a dye but also for ink.

I just tried Camilla and it's
a nice pink-magenta. with lemon and salt. Smelled nice too.

Hi, in the San Francisco Bay Area
there is a weed fully in bloom in Jan. and Feb. And being a
weed is quite hardy, prolific and hard to eradicate. Oxallis,
the one with the yellow flowers. Use the flower heads, some
stem ok. It is nearly fluorescent yellow, and quite colorfast
on alum mordanted wool.

Hi there,
I've heard that oak galls makes
a good black dye, although i've never tried this myself.

I haven't seen Dahlia on the
list. Red, yellow, orange Dahlia flowers make a lovely yellow
to orange dye for wool.
