Indigo, Madder, and Marigold
By Trudy Van Stralen
|
Flowers, foliage, roots, and the heartwood of various trees have been used as
dyestuffs since antiquity to produce a rainbow of vibrant colors. Trudy Van Stralen,
one of the most respected natural dyers and teachers of the craft in North America,
shows how to achieve a full spectrum of hues from just a few dyepots using minimal
mordants and a creative approach to dye mixing, overdyeing, and pH modifications.
Over 200 individual recipes are included along with dozens of full-page photographs
presenting a feast of color on fibers, yarns, and fabrics.
