I have fleece in the bathroom, in the kitchen, on the balcony..I see fleece at all important moments of the day

Yes, it is obvious you enjoy your work. It brings more happiness with beautiful results of your investigations and experimenting, and the failures are less bitter, not discouraging at all.
I'm very much interested in the "red" plants growing in open nature - not having a dyer's garden, any garden at all.
These long and hot June summer days are really best for natural dyeing. I too have fleece and yarn in the bathroom, in the kitchen, on the balcony even in my bedroom. Sometimes it would be good to tidy it all but in fact I enjoy it.
My three dyebooks arrived today which is very rapid delivery, I didn't expect them before end of June. Now I have much to read, learn, admire, investigate, experiment :-)
