We use these little cuties in the dye pot to make creamy tans, caramels or soft greys on our cotton knits, but you can also expect beautiful results on wool, linen or silk. Every winter cones are abundant as can be in our younger forests and in wetter areas where the conifers are not well-established.
Alder Cones keep well and have many uses outside the dye house:
Decoration
Wreath Making
Aquariums and Terrariums- for health and beauty!
Potpourri Blends
Resin Jewelry
Ink Making- amber, gray, and black
Dyeing Paper- great for creating historic looking pieces
Electroforming Projects- incredible jewelry!
Herbal Therapies
