Product Information
'By teaching you the foundations of natural dyeing, and guiding you through the simple stitch techniques, this book will allow you to dip in and out of projects while learning how to forage for and grow your own dye plants.' In THE WILD DYER Abigail Booth demystifies the 'magic' of natural dyeing and shows how to use the results to stunning effect in 15 exquisite patchwork and stitch projects, including a drawstring forager's bag, an apron, samplers, cushions and a reversible patchwork blanket. Focusing on how to grow or gather your own dyeing materials - from onion and avocado skins to chamomile and comfrey, nettles and acorns - as well as scouring, mordanting (using fixative) and setting up a dye vat, Abigail explains how to create effective dyes. And once you have them, how you can produce beautiful, contemporary textiles that can then be used to create projects that build on your skills.Product Identifiers

Excellent book for a beginning dyer
Excellent book for a beginner, very easy and straightforward explanations. I think it is very good for someone just starting out with absolutely no knowledge of what is involved in natural dyeing. The illustrations are lovely and very explanatory of the process and I look forward to getting stuck in to the various projects when I have it all set up. I particularly like that the author has started with a kitchen section as a first step since it is more readily available than garden plants (although they are the ultimate goal for me). Book design and font is very eye-friendly.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Beautiful and useful book.
Brilliant and engaging book, I found it made the world of natural dyeing seem accessible and realistic. The book is clearly written and laid out in easy to digest sections, with beautiful photography throughout. I appreciated the emphasis on using what's available to you already, both in the kitchen and the garden/outdoors. The projects included are practical and pretty, with clear instructions; and I have already made a few of them with my beautiful naturally-dyed fabric.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
