About the book >.>.> The ancient craft of dyeing was practised by most early civilisations. Long before the advent of chemical dyes peoples all over the world relied solely on nature to provide them with sources of colour. Natural dyeing is gradually becoming rarer in many of the countries where it once flourished so craft dyers in the western world have an important part to play in ensuring that the skills are kept alive. Not every plant which produces a colour in the dyebath or on material will necessarily turn out to be a reliable or fast dyestuff but most of the natural dyes covered in this book have stood the test of time. Once you have understood the basic principles and mastered the techniques you will find that natural dyeing is not only quite simple but also ely rewarding.
