CRAFT OF THE DYER |
Colour from Plants and Lichens; Second Revised Edition
For beginners and advanced dyers, this book covers safe, ecological and sound dyeing procedures using some energy saving techniques. Dyestuffs with plants are indexed by common and botanical names and by color produced. I enjoyed the information on gardening as well as what to take for urban and rural collecting. Sources are from America, Canada, Britain, and Ireland with nothing rare or imported except indigo. There's a pride in doing things from scratch and the diversity of shades produced always harmonize. Four color plates.
