The author is especially interested in traditional methods of dyeing cotton and linen, fibers many other natural dye books have given short shrift to. This would be great for anyone interested in authentic reproductions of historic textiles. A Dyer's Garden touches on the fascinating history and nature of dye plants and walks you through a garden season from design to planting to harvesting for the dye pot. Foolproof methods for eighteen plants are discussed in detail, and the range of hues they produce are shown in color photographs. This book is a labor of love.
