Um, so, yah... I figured out what they use for rotting entrails on the Walking Dead.
Otherwise known as soggy wool and chunky blackberry juice.
It smells pretty good tho and that's nice.
I soaked the wool in the blackberry dye for about 3 hours - what can I say I fell asleep.
On a whim I tossed in some unmordanted wool as well. I'm curious to see how the colour changes/colour stays when I rinse the wool.
As it dries and the berries (I assume oxidize) this entrail red should (fingers crossed) change to a blueish purple colour... kinda like the parts of this wooden spoon that's dried out a bit.

After the wool dries. I'll rinse it and then let is dry again... and eventually I'll be about to do something with it. I was going to keep aside some of this wool for my cedar dye, but I had a lot of the blackberry dye and it felt like a waste, so cedar dye it going to have to wait until I get more wool. (darn)
