Privet leaves yellow for silks

SILKS:  Habotai and Erin

Habotai soaked 24hrs.  Erin soaked 72hrs

Silks premordanted with Alum Sulphate.

Samples modified show more towards gold with citric Acid and Cream of Tartar, and a touch of iron gives green-black.    Iron modifier can be used sparingly to achieve a green.
