This book is beautiful !

I am so looking forward to trying out all of the new techniques and the book really goes into thorough detail about what dyes you can use from left over waste such as avocado stones or even onion skins.

The techniques that this book teach you can be used on most textiles including yarn, which will enable you to make some absolutely fabulous yarns or fabrics

I would highly recommend this book to any fiber artist

*a big thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc copy in exchange for an honest review *

I have been natural or Eco dyeing for years, and always love it when I find a new book of dyeing. This one is very, very good, the information is excellent and to the point - easy to read and understand. As for the photographs, they are stunning. The chapters are divided into area of -Collection, Fabric, Tools, Soya Milk Color fast & Ph Sensitivity dyes, Dye basics, Dye Recipes, Ink and Printing, Modifiers and Other Dyes. There are also some projects at the end to use the dyed fabric for.
This is a great book for both beginners and experienced dyers. Dyeing is so much fun, the results always magic, and with natural dyes very friendly to people and envioroment
I recommend this book very strongly..

I have always been curious about using plants to create natural dyes. I was not aware of the science behind it, but it certainly makes sense. Alicia Hall has done due diligence and research I order to share with the public her findings. I love all the background and explanations. I could almost hear her next to me, quietly cheering me on, telling me that I too could do this. The photos are incredibly helpful, particularly as she starts discussing types of fabric and later modifiers. The projects provided at the end are a nice touch to provide a good starting place. I am excited to try this for myself soon. No special equipment is needed and helpful suggestions on where to find various plants are provided as well. I appreciate Alicia’s willingness to share her insights and experiences and I will happily recommend this others who are looking to try their own natural kitchen dyes.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

This is a very interesting book! I've never thought about making my own natural dyes and didn't realise the wonderful colours you could get from the most mundane things such as onion skin!

There are clear instructions, plenty of photos and 'recipes', if you want to try making your own dye using food scraps/ingredients then this is the perfect book to try it!
