Author Description

Natural fibers—such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool—take dye much better than synthetics do. Dyeing is as much an art as a science, so don’t hesitate to experiment. For example, we like combining liquid dyes to come up with our colors. Modify this technique for items other than fabric, immersing them in the dye and taking note of how each item takes the color. This book provides a straightforward beginner's guide for those wanting to explore a whole new world of color. With a collection of creative sewing projects and basic dyeing techniques that anyone can achieve in their own home, this book guides you, step-by-step, through the craft of fabric dyeing.
