Materials:
½ cup blueberries
3 tablespoons aluminum sodium sulfate
2 cups water
Silk
Procedure:
First I mashed up the blueberries, and then I heated them in a pot full of water on a hot plate so they were very not but not yet boiling. Then I added a mordant so the dye would stick to the fibers. Then I dipped small squares of silk into the dye bath and let it soak for about ten minutes. When done,I pulled out the silk and rinsed it off.
Analysis:
I first noticed that the dye bath was purple, but when I pulled out my two types of silk I noticed that the color was different for both. On my thin silk the color dyed was purple, but on my heavier silk it dyed it a bright blue color.
