I dyed yarn with Scotch Broom! Scotch Broom is absolutely everywhere around here - it's invasive so it's a perfect plant to harvest and use for dying.
I pre-mordanted the yarn in alum.
It yielded a soft, cheerful yellow. I'm going to give it to my sister for her birthday - she is a knitter also and was with me when I harvested the Scotch Broom. No one tell her though; it's a surprise!
