excellent little book - Rated
This is an inspiring, compact book on natural dyeing and how to grow the plants for it. But once again it comes from North America, so some of the plants are hard to find here. You can find some at 7wells.co.uk
Terrific -- and "For Real" - Rated
Beautifully researched, solid data, and great color illustrations and presentation AND amazingly enough, her information is ACCURATE. No theoretical blather based on other references or wishful thinking. She has clearly tested, cross-checked, and validated all of her information first-hand. That in itself is remarkable, greatly appreciated, enormously valuable. Thank you Ms. Buchanan!
Rita Buchanan's book "A Weaver's Garden" - Rated
I have the above book and it is very informative, it has been the only one I have come across with a picture of a ramie plant. I would like to use this for a project I am doing. It will not be for publication, it is for my own person use to promote the craft of spinning, weaving and dyeing.
Best book around for plant dyes - Rated
Rita gives CLEAR instructions on WHAT part of the plant to harvest for which color; which mordants and which fibers produce which colors; and what time of the year to harvest the plant. In addition, her color photos of the color outcome are neatly stacked along the right edge, enabling the reader to flip through the book to see the colors. There is also an appendix listing where the reader can get seeds for the plants in the book. Anyone interested in trying GOOD dye plants (almost any plant will give you at least tan) should have this small, well-written and beautifully illustrated book. Rita is one of the best.
