Talk:Traditional dyes of the Scottish Highlands

A note

Just a note, since I don't have time to fix this right now: Many of the listings on this page list the latin name of the plant used to produce a certain die. These names should all be italicized and the genus name capitalized to conform to rules of binomial nomenclature. So "drosera rotundifolia" would be written Drosera rotundifolia, etc.. If no-one fixes this I'll come back and do so sooner or later. Thanks --NoahElhardt 05:12, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Crottle

Jean Fraser, Traditional Scottish Dyes, 1983, says all lichen dyes are traditionally called "crottle" from Gaelic "crotal" - I think "cnotal" in this article is a error - can someone with the Gaelic confirm? - PKM 18:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

User:76.189.42.205 has made this change, thanks. - PKM 00:37, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Both are in fact correct spellings, since "cn" is pronounced the same as "cr" in Gaidhlig. --MacRusgail 15:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Had no idea! Thanks. - PKM 19:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Peat Ash

Peat ash on its own it very much a yellow orange colour, so Im not sure what the "obviously this ingredient on its own will not produce yellow", is about, often sheep get temporarily stained by just lying in peat ash.
