Vild kørvel - et eksperiment

Cow Parsley --  An Experiment

     Så prøver jeg om det virker bedre med auto-udgivelse. Onsdags-skriverier blev der ikke noget af denne gang Jeg skrev det her for et stykke tid siden, det forsvandt, og dukkede så op igen.

     Vi har diskuteret om vild kørvel gav forskellig farve, hvis man delte blade og blomster for sig. Nogen mente at stængler og blomster ikke kunne indeholde ret meget farve. Jeg mente, at der var stor forskel.
Det måtte et forsøg til.

Trying if ante-dating of the blogposts works better. Here's hoping.WfW just did not happen. Maybe later. This post was written some time ago, Now I found it again.

We've been discussing whether the leaves gave off different colours from stems and flowers. I said yes, other protested.
An experiment was in order.

En hel plante -- A whole plant


blev delt op i bundter, 40 gram i hver --  was split in parts, each containing 40 grams.
Blomster - Blandet - Blade     --     Flowers - Everything - Leaves

Og så blev det tilsat 10 g alunbejdset uldgarn og vand.
All had 10 grams of alum mordanted yarn and water added to the glass.

Blomster - Blandet - Blade     --     Flowers - Everything - Leaves

De kom i den vidunderlige gryde i en time ved 85 grader.
The wonderful pot did its job. One hour at 85 degrees.

Blomster - Blandet - Blade     --     Flowers - Everything - Leaves

Og så kom garnet op og hænge til tørre. Jeg synes absolut, der er forskel.

The yarn was pulled up and dried. I see a difference.
Blomster - Blandet - Blade     --     Flowers - Everything - Leaves

     Det, der kun er farvet med blomster og stængler er klart citrongult, de andre to bundter er mere mudrede i farven. Jeg burde have haft et 4. bundt med blade fra en ikke-blomstrende plante, de plejer nemlig at give limegrøn. 

 The yarn dyed with flowers and stems, is a clear lemon yellow. The other two are a more muddy yellow. I should have extended this with a bundle and leaves from a plant not flowering, it normally gives me lime green.

  1. Fascinating.
    And I do love that lemon yellow. It epitomises sunshine and cheer.

  2. The flowers and stems do produce a very pretty color, and i think a lime green would be lovely, too.

  3. Very interesting experiment. There is a distinct difference. And what a lovely set of shades of yellow.
