Clover flowers + Linden leaves + iron

I collected leaves from the linden tree and mixed them with clover flowers from the forest.

Soak them in water and left them to steep overnight. Next day I boiled the plants and reduce to simmer for 2 hours. Let it steep overnight. Next day I removed the plant from the water and heat the water again. Added the silk and cotton. Simmer for one hour. Added iron liquor, heat some more, and let it cool down in the dye bath. (I made iron liquor by mixing vinegar, water and rusting nails, let one week undisturbed in a jar.)
