Seaweed experiments and a beanie to boot...

The beanie didn't turn out quite as vivid as the jumper but I have a sneaking suspicion it may be 'machine washable' wool or a wool/synthetic blend??? Still, I'm more than happy with it :) Warm as toast.
Amused myself today with seaweed Eco-print experiments on silk and wool with varying results. Also tried some eucalypt leaves that I found on the mud flats. They were very dark even black some of them. I just wanted to see if, after floating in the ocean and being partially broken down, they would still have any available colour? Would the salt/minerals act as mordant? See pics below..
