Second Edition
'Natural Plant Dyes' is a practical and simple guide to dye-making with plants, which takes the reader step-by-step from plant collection to dyed yarn so easily that even novices will be inspired to try.
Australian plants are the source of an incredible range of colours. Lists at the back of the book cover well over 100 plants (including a number of commonly found introduced plants), each of which can potentially release five different colours with different mordants. The lists are organised under colour divisions, grouping plants which will provide a particular colour, under common names and under botanical names.
