An illustrated look at the process of natural dyeing from 40 coloring plants, along with the necessary materials, how to prepare of fibers or substances, mordanting, and different dyeing methods. The fascinating luminosity of colors from plants can be easily transferred to wool, silk, or other materials at home. Necessary materials, mordanting, the preparation of fibers and dye sources, and different dyeing methods are described in detail in this richly illustrated book. Also shown are how the dyed materials can be felted or turned into woolen pictures. The traditional coloring of Easter eggs with natural colors or the coloring of the sun is also explained. Last but not least, the authors deal with trend-setting ecoprinting.
