Plant dyed embroidery thread/weaving yarn

This thread was dyed with bark of alder. Bark of trees contain tannins, what makes them excellent dystuffs, providing effective and lightfasting colours. It was used for dyeing from centuries. In a case of alder, you can use both bark and 'cones'(which are in fact flowers!).
