Just wondering what people recommend as the best way to fix pokeberry dye on clothes. I'm in love with the brilliant magenta stain it gives and my kids and I had fun making a tie-dye t-shirt with some of the berries last summer. I know most natural dyes fade or go muddy so I still have it in the laundry room until I know if there's a best way to preserve the gorgeous color. :)
I was thinking that we could just take it as a fact of life that it will fade/change and just keep using new stuff to make a sort of ever-changing natural stain shirt, but I'd also love be able to use pokeberries to give new beauty to stained dishcloths and stuff like that, even if it's a paler version in the end. Any experience?
