This rich and comprehensive guide to natural dyeing processes will take your practise to the next level. Author, Heidi Iverson, explains how to boost the spectrum of colors you can achieve through using a variety of tannins, mordants, modifiers, and mixing colors to get incredible results naturally. The Natural Dye Handbook includes: * A library of more than 60 plants including fungi, leaves, bark, roots, flowers, fruit, nuts, and seeds, and the incredible natural-dyed rainbow you can create with them. * A back-to-basics look at the fundamental principles of natural dyeing to help you understand each plant and process as you continue on your natural dye journey. * A large section exploring colour theory where Heidi explains how to create your own colour library and techniques for mixing colours. Heidi explores two different approaches to natural dyeing; a traditional style and a more intuitive approach.
