Dye:

Goldenrod is North America's equivalent to weld, the oldest and surest yellow dye of Europe. It blooms for a long time where I live and dries well. This year the yellow gave a very strong colour, sometimes too strong for my liking. I simmer the fresh flowers slowly and use an alum mordant. The colour is even and has good light-fastness.
This was the original European blue dye plant before the silk road and indigo from India. At that time, the woad guilds banned indigo because it was taking away business with its stronger blue pigment.
My woad vat has many of the same qualities as my indigo vat  and the colour is produced the same way.
