Quite often, the most beautiful colors are those found in nature. While synthetic dyes abound, one-of-a-kind natural colors seem somehow more alive, reflecting light in interesting ways and becoming mellower, softer, and more beautiful with the passage of time.
Colors from Nature, written for both novice and experienced dyers, details the techniques for extracting a variety of tints from flowers, vegetables, fruits, herbs, roots, and berries to dye wool, cotton, linen, and silk yarns and fabrics, as well as basketry and other natural materials. Truly three books in one, Colors from Nature is a handbook on preparing and using natural dyes; a guide to growing, collecting, and/or purchasing natural dyes and a selection of dye projects, with complete how-to instructions and illustrations.
In her reader-friendly style, author Bobbi A. McRae explains the theories behind natural dyes, rather than laying down rigid formulas. Versed in the principles, dyers are then free to experiment with confidence on their own.
Colors from Nature's wide variety of attractive projects - including quilting, cross stitch, batik, felting, basketry, papermaking, crocheting, and needlepoint- gives craftspeople starting points for personal creations.
