The Craft of Natural Dyeing: Glowing Colours from the Plant World by Jenny Dean

Review: The author has researched ethnic dyeing techniques, shows a concern with conservational, environmental and safety factors, and works with both animal and vegetable fibers. She starts with onion skins, details natural mordants and metallic salts, testing leaves and stems, prunings, flower heads, barks, roots, woods, skins, hulls, berries, seeds and lichens. A must-have for all dyers concerned with the environment, no matter what level of experience. Filled with gorgeous color photos of plants, materials and how to use them.
