Indigo, Madder and Marigold: A Portfolio of Colors
from Natural Dyes 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.
