Descriere completă

Imagine if you could dye your clothes with homegrown plants...

Grow Your Own Colour shows you how to start a dye garden no matter how little space you have, whether it's a window box, balcony or garden. Experience the joy of growing flowers and indigo, and use your plants to naturally dye cloth.

Have you thought about natural dyeing but you're worried the colours might fade? Or perhaps you're put off by special equipment you need. This book demystifies the process and will help you get started in the simplest way.

If you're a plant lover, then find out how common garden flowers like marigold and cosmos can be used to dye fabric in a variety of shades and patterns. Natural dyes are alive; the hues are beautifully subtle. The art of natural dyeing encourages mindfulness and is a wonderful way to be creative.
