The Wild Dyer A Maker’s Guide to Natural Dyes with Projects to Create and Stitch - Abigail Booth

“Wild Dyer” is one of the resources recommended by frequent Notebook collaborator Katama Murray, who teaches natural dyeing workshops. The book explains basic tools and equipment needed to start naturally dyeing, how to prepare fabric through scouring and mordanting, and how to make a dye bath. It covers “kitchen” “garden” and “foraged” sources of natural dyeing material, from onion skins to coreopsis to willow. Interspersed through the book are step-by-step dyeing and sewing instructions for useful projects like place mats, a foraging bag, and an apron. “Wild Dyer” is rich in full-page photographs and provides a well-rounded introduction to natural dyeing.
