Dying with Muscadine grape juice

This first picture is silk and a small amount of wool (so I could see how they differed) My friend gave me a quart of Muscadine juice. They are grapes. After reading about them, I think I might hunt for them. They are supposed to have a cancer fighting affect. They also can make jellies, preserves, syrup and sauce. The article didn't tell what a beautiful color it dyes silk.

I put the quart in a pan and added a little water. I put the silk in and decided to try a little wool at the same time. The darkest silk is the first one I dyed. When I finished with it, I didn't want to lose the rest of the dye so added a little water (so it would cover my next silk) and put the second on in. It is the one that is a little lighter. Then I repeated for the third. It is a very soft beige color. Personally, I don't think silk can look bad in any color but this is absolutely fantastic.

When asked if I wanted more of it - I immediately said YES. The article said they were ripe in September and October. I am going to Arkansas the second week in October so maybe I can find some. I've tasted the jelly and it is very good.
