Written by a botanist and dyer this is an excellent reference book for novice and experienced dyers alike.

Comprehensive and practical.

- Written by a botanist and dyer this is an excellent reference book for novice and experienced dyers alike. Review by Fiona Dowson, in Permaculture magazine

Written by a botanist and dyer this is an excellent reference book for novice and experienced dyers alike. The first part sets out clear instructions for beginners, including use and disposal of mordants. The bulk of the book is lavishly illustrated with beautiful drawings worthy of a place on the wall. Each plant is examined in detail. This could be the only book you will ever need for your dyer's garden and kitchen. Fortunately most dye plants are either perennial or bennial which makes them an ideal component of a forest garden or a very large herb spiral. (Posted on 07/07/2010)Review
