    So my plan fell at the first hurdle almost. My apologies to all of you who followed expecting a regular write up. I have been doing many experiments with madder, but of course I was completely sidetracked by one of my ideas. I am writing this up slowly on another page and it will be available on this blog when all those particular experiments are finally finished. It is fairly self contained but still requires much dyeing before I will have any constructive results and relates to the preparation of the roots once pulled out of the ground. My thanks go to Susan Dye and Ashley walker of Natures Rainbow…
