Product Description
Rear cover notes: "Here is a unique cookbook of dye recipes collected from outstanding contemporary dyers across the continent. Their focus is on the practicality, availability, use, and beauty of dyes produced from natural materials. The recipes and methods are clearly explained, and each dyestuff used is fully identified. The colors obtained have been coded with the standard industrial colors contained in the ISCC-NBS Centroid Color system, providing natural dye colors with a predictability and standardization previously applied to only synthetically dyed colors. In addition, the dyes were subjected to industrial lightfastness tests, and industrial standardshave been applied to them. One basic dye method is thoroughly discussed so that even the most novice of dyers can easily follow its step-by-step method. Excellent illustrations depict the equipment needed, plants and other materials to be used as dyestuff, and imaginative uses for the dyed fibers."
