Camarine noire

Note d'application

• (fr-FR) The blackish-red berries of the pokeweed plant, Phytolacca americana, that is native to North America. Pokeberries ripen in the late summer to early fall. They were used by the native Americans for staining basketry. The primary colorant is cyanidin. Pokeberries produce a pale color on unmordanted wool, while wool mordanted with alum gives a cherry red, iron gives purple, copper gives a brick color and chromium gives a deep red. None of the colors are lightfast and fade quickly in sunlight to pale tones.
