Achieve rich, lightfast colors from plants, lichen and fungi without compromising safety or the environment.

If you've ever dreamed of creating vibrant, natural and completely unique yarn shades for your knitting, crochet or weaving projects, then look no further.

Natural dyeing is a wonderful blend of color, chemistry, craft and nature. Here, expert authors Anna Bauer and Eva Zethraeus share with you 25 easy-to-follow recipes for a rich palette of yarn dyes, from the juicy reds of beetroot and vibrant yellows of onion to the shimmering pinks, purples and blues of red cabbage.

  • 25 dye recipes from readily available plants, fungi and lichen, which produce a stunning palette of shades.
  • Clear instructions: each tried-and-tested recipe is detailed and easy to follow and takes you from start to finish, from making your dyebath to using mordants for fixing color.
  • A sustainable approach: learn how to maximize the potential of your dye materials, plus practical advice on aftercare to ensure that your yarns remain as beautiful and vivid as the day they were dyed.
  • A comprehensive introduction for first-time dyers: equip yourself with the right tools and techniques for successful dyeing, including collecting plant materials, fixing your colors and essential safety tips.
  • Guidance for further reading: packed with a glossary and references for further reading, this is your all-in-one resource for mastering the art of botanical dyeing.
