This book is an artfully presented resource for enthusiasts and crafters seeking authoritative information about the natural dyeing process from sourcing plants, extracting dyes, and materials to use.

For those wishing to make their own dyes for decorating fabrics and textiles, upcycling clothes, creating their own color combinations, or relying upon natural methods, this book provides a step-by-step introduction to making colorful, natural dyes from plants and organic materials, whether collected in the wild or cultivated in the garden. The formulas, methods, and natural secrets are accompanied by idyllic photographs making this practical book a source of lifestyle inspiration.

Every technique is 100% environmentally friendly, and every detail is covered including the history of dyeing; foraging for wild plant material; dye plants in the garden; proper materials and methods; matching fiber to the right dye; special techniques for hemp, linen, cotton, and even food; and testing for color fastness. Also included are sample projects. Mastering the art of using plant-based dyes will provide years of inspiration for a range of projects from upcycling old garments to designing beautiful new creations.

Having exchanged harried city life for a return to a “slow life” in the countryside, Céline Philippe shares her eco-friendly approach to dyeing and working with textiles and her renewed relationship with nature.
