Review by Library Journal Review
After discussing the importance of connecting with nature through creative work, teacher and artisan Burgess describes the various steps of the dyeing process, from selection and preparation of fiber to necessary tools and supplies. The heart of the book is the collection of recipes featuring a variety of plants, many of which grow wild in the United States. Each includes information on where the plant can be found as well as a full-color photograph of the plant and dyed fiber. The recipes are surprisingly accessible, even to beginners, and Burgess includes ample information on minimizing the environmental impact of the few potentially harmful chemicals used in natural dyeing.
