The Complete Guide to Natural Dyeing: Techniques and recipes for dyeing fabrics, yarns and fibres at home

摘要

When Amazon contacted me to tell me there was a new dye book about to be published, my first reaction was 'Oh no, not another one' as this will be the third in as many years. However, unable to resist a dye book, I have now added it to my growing collection. The first impact is colour: loads of glorious colour right from the word go, as the very first pages are pictures of samples of dyed fabrics with the page number of where tornfind/how to dye that colour. In the opening chapter there are photos of quite outstanding fabrics by artists such as Isabella Whitworth, whose fabulous scarves are shown, and Kimberly Baxter Packwood's compost dyed fabrics. These would inspire anybody to want to try natural dyeing.
