These are older photos, but I wanted to document my process as it was a really fun experience!
I picked a whole basket full of blackberries, with the intention of dying some fiber with them. Yes, I know blackberry is quite a fugitive color, but it’s one of my favorites, so I just… went with it. 
I mooshed them all up and then heated them, added alum, and my fiber. I let the whole mess cook on low for many hours, stirring occasionally. All of the “solids” are in a bag, to keep them from mingling with my fiber.
Some of the solids got out anyway and got in the fiber, but that’s ok. It came out a really lovely color!
