We had another two pots of indigo and one more pot of cochineal. One Indigo pot exploded and nobody knew how and how to avoid it for next time. I had put some cotton (93%)/spandex(7%) sock yarn in the indigo pots, I think I over died it about 6 times, but it didn't come out to be the dark blue I really wanted, which other ladies got.
The cochineal pot came out very lovely yesterday too. Really wish I put in a sample and/or got a picture for that pot.
Other dye pots
Alkanet - dull green and brown, neutral
Black Cherry Berry Tea from Celestial Seasonings - dull greens, browns, yellow
Tomato Vines - dingy yellow
Kamala - I'm not sure what part of the plant is used for the dye stuff. - orange and brown
Jamaica - Bright red - dies like KoolAid
