Hand Dyed Designs is your ultimate guide to the art of natural dyeing, offering a sustainable approach to creating stunning, one-of-a-kind textiles, including 18 projects.

Author and maker Katie Ellen Wilkins of Studio Tinta has ideas for curious beginners through to seasoned dyers. The first part of the book focuses on the essential information you'll need to know before you begin the dyeing itself. This includes how to choose the best fabrics, an explanation of the different mordants, necessary equipment and how to store dyes. The second part highlights Katie's favorite dye plants, from marigold and madder to avocado pits, and has instructions for common dyeing techniques like bundle dyeing and immersion dyeing.

In the final part of the book, Katie shows you how to create 18 beautiful fashion and homeware pieces with your dyed fabrics, from an indigo linen robe to madder and marigold dyed socks to a pomegranate and geranium silk eye mask.

Packed with stunning imagery of the dyeing process, textiles and project ideas, Hand Dyed Designs will inspire you to walk outside and make art with nature.
