It is suitable for the beginner as well as for the more<br>experienced textile artist. The dyeing can be done in the home or the<br>classroom with plants from the garden or bought in a local store. It is<br>a comparatively cheap process that will also satisfy the craft person's<br>desire to use 'green' methods in their work. <p/><br>Most books on natural dyes only deal with wool for weaving. This book<br>will also cover yarns for embroidery. The book will be filled with<br>step-by-step sequences, useful tips and the author's own work to show the amazing variety of colours that can be<br>achieved by using natural materials. All in all, this is a<br>comprehensive guide to using natural dyes that will also be an<br>inspiration to all who want to explore the use of these dyes in<br>imaginative ways.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"'A practical and thorough guide on how to obtain colour directly from natural dyes'" --<i>Embroidery Nov/Dec 2007</i> <p/>"'This comprehensive guide will be an inspiration to anyone who wants to explore natural dyes to create imaginative works.'" --<i>Fabrications</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Linda Rudkin is a professional textile artist who specialises in<br>producing natural dyes.
