Wild Color
by Jenny Dean

Jenny Dean's comprehensive guide covers natural dyeing processes and materials. The first half of the book covers how to use natural dyes: the equipment, fibers, mordants, and methods of dyeing. Cool dyeing, hot dyeing, and the all-in-one method are covered, as well as the hydrosulfite, yeast, urine, and fermentation options to dye indigo and woad. The second half of the book is an encyclopedia of dye materials. Each entry shows the plant, the colors that can be made from it, and information on which dye processes to use.

Full-color photographs help explain the step-by-step instructions and illustrate almost every page of the book.
