Overview

Until the mid-19th century, natural plant dyes were the only source of dye available. However, once scientists discovered that they could produce dye pigments in a laboratory that would stand up to washing, were quicker to make, and could be easily transferred to fibers, creating dyes from plants became somewhat of a lost art. Despite this, many plant dyeing activities still exist for the home gardener and can be a fun family project as well. Making dye with kids can be a great learning experience and a rewarding one at that. This book tells you what equipment you need, how to go about dying and gives over 200 recipes for particular colors. A catalog of dye plants with information about cultivation and harvest is also provided.
