Plant Dyeing - Get Started Easily

Dye with nature's own colors

Dreaming of getting started dyeing your own yarn? Then this small practical book on plant dyeing is probably just what you need.

There's something magical about collecting plants yourself, dyeing yarn and then knitting or crocheting a sweater, a shawl or a scarf. Nature's colors are simply more beautiful and more environmentally friendly than chemical dyes. The plants used for dyeing are easy to gather in the wild — some can also be grown in the garden or bought dried. The book gives a simple and clear introduction to plant dyeing with natural plants. Dye your yarn at home in your kitchen, in a dye pot or over a bonfire or hearth out in the garden.

The author is Vibeke Munk, who previously worked as a social worker, but now runs her own yarn company, Garnstyrelsen, which organizes courses and sells yarn.

The book covers topics such as:

· What is plant dyeing?
· Which plants are suitable for dyeing?
· How to do plant dyeing
· Tools for plant dyeing
· Plant dyeing in practice

At the back of the book you'll find a useful chart on plants and dyeing.
