In this practical inspiration book, plant dyeing takes on new forms. You will learn how you can dye fabric, yarn and clothing in natural fibers in a simple and non-toxic way. The dyes are found in food and in what we would otherwise throw away as tops, kernels and decoctions from, among other things, various vegetables. But dyes can also be extracted from rusty objects such as old nails, useful and colored plants.

 The book gives a picture of the history of dyeing and what it looks like today. It contains the basic skills you need to easily get started with home dyeing. In addition to about 20 recipes for different dye baths, there is also a chapter on how to grow your own plants to dye with, such as crab root and weed.

 Natural dyeing was first published in 2014 and is now published in a revised edition.
