Beautiful colors, Christina.
I'm using alum on the wool and silk, and alum/tannin
on the linen, hemp, and cotton. I didn't try dyeing
any unmordanted yarn (other than the woad and walnut).
I didn't dye fabric, either.
I had one skein of silk get into the tannin bath by
mistake. Lovely, bright sienna color. 
My next plan is to dye a bunch of silk floss for
embroidery.
