Natural Dyes offers 36 easy-to-follow recipes for turning common Canadian plants into a wide range of beautiful and unique colours, from burnt oranges to subtle pinks and smoky greys. Organized by colour, the recipes give brief dwscriptions of the plants used and their habitas as well as instructions on how to produce the final dyed material. The book also includes sections on mordants and equipment, collecting, drying and storing plants, and includes an annotated bibliography. First published in 1978, Natural Dyes remains a valuable addition to the literature of natural plant dyes.
