Laboratory dyeing (Dyelab again) update

Last weekend I picked up a lot of red ivy leaves to dye wool and last night I started the experiment of dyeing. Here the result: the leaves have released all the red in the water (I've warmed up to high temperature but not boiled). Last weekend I
Collected Several boston red ivy leaves for a new dyeing last afternoon session and I've started the lab. Here is the result: the haves leaves released to the red dye in the bath (simmered a bit and let rest for one hour only).

Then I put in the wool premordenzata with alum rock and I put on the fire a bit, and I left it all night. Here's how I found this morning: I've put the alum
premordanted yarn inside and simmered bit again and let it rest overnight.
This Morning It Was like this:
rest I'll leave it in there today and tomorrow, I want to grab all the color possible.
I will let it rest for today and tomorrow, I want to keep all the possible dye.
