cotton samples dyed with white dead-nettle (lamium album) !! cooler toned fabrics are just dead-nettle, the warmer brownish scraps had been pre-dyed yellow with pomegranate rinds

this was a very small experiment to confirm whether dead-nettles yielded dye as their stinging cousins 🌿 the extraction process lasted two days and 3 steepings (although i believe two steepings would've been enough!)

my partner said these look a bit like bog finds :'^) love that comparison

Lamium album, Lamiaceae

Generally known as White nettle or Dead nettle due to the superficial resemblance to Urtica dioica, the stinging nettle, this wildflower is native to Europe and Asia and naturalised in North America. 

Although it has been used as a medicinal and edible plant, it is more often found in the wild, in open grassland, woodland or roadsides, but it is also widely grown in gardens as a perennial herbaceous ground cover which tends to flower from spring until the first frosts. The long flowering season makes them a good resource for pollinators, especially bumble bees, which are very attracted by the flowers.

These photos were taken in a hilly country park in central Scotland.

Lamium album, valkopeippi

[brantaleucopsis]

The white dead-nettle’s (Lamium album) native habitat is the mountains of eastern Europe and western Asia, but it has spread throughout Europe with people a long time ago. Its flowers have been used to treat many ailments, and its young leaves can be used in salads or other foods. It prefers nitrogenous soil and can therefore often be found growing next to stinging nettles. Their leaves look very much alike, but white dead-nettles do not sting. Especially bumblebees are attracted to the flowers, which is why the plant is sometimes called the bee nettle.
