Book Reviews of The Art and Craft of Natural Dyeing: Traditional Recipes for Modern Use
Book Review: Natural Dyeing for the Chemically Inclined
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is geared more toward precise recipes and reproducibility. It does not discuss the growing of dye plants, but is aimed at those using purchased dyestuffs. The recipes are organized by color instead of by plant, with some interesting discussion of historical colors (the author is involved in historical reenactments). A few color plates are relegated to the middle of the book. Getting an idea of the finished product for a given recipe required a lot of hunting around and digging through captions. I did appreciate the historical and biochemical information given for many of the plant dyes, though. Although this book was less enjoyable to leaf through than other natural dyeing books, it seems very well-researched and practical.
