Buy Wild Colour: How to Make and Use Natural Dyes 1 by Dean, Jenny (ISBN: 9781784725532) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Really comprehensive dyeing instructions - This is a really great dyeing book, which is used by the tutors at Macclesfield Silk Mill, who run one day natural dyeing courses. It has a page for each plant. My favourite feature is the 'Colour Swatch Guide', which shows what colour you will get with an alum mordant, what colour the dye on the fibres looks like and what colour you will get with an iron modifier, after dyeing. Fenella Review: Inspiring beautifully illustrated and informative book - This is a wonderful book. It is organised and illustrated so well. It gives clear guidance and instruction on the plants, how to extract the colours from them and the methods used to produce dyes from them, as well as how to make the dyes colour fast. I would highly recommend it, its pages are a joy to leaf through, so full of colour and information.

Looks really interesting.
This book has lovely detail about dyeing wool with natural dyes. I am looking forward to using it over time. Very detailed with good colour charts. I’m sure I will come back to it time and time again.

What a beautiful book
Great, practical book, with fabulous colour illustrations. Of particular use are the colour swatches down either side of each page, showing the various pigmentations of blends of mordant/dye etc. Makes you want to start dyeing things immediately...
