Craftspeople interested in traditional methods will welcome this complete guide to making and using dyes from plants. Although its emphasis is on plants of Northeastern North America, many of the plants listed are found throughout the world.Helpful introductory chapters on equipment, mordants, dyeing procedures and other essentials, are followed by individual plants: its suitability for dyeing, useful parts, how to process them, colors, dye fastness, plant identification, where to find it, and more. Also include four valuable indexes — plants by common name, botanical name, by colors produced, and a general index. A list of suppliers, metric conversion tables and other information rounds out this thorough guide to safe, ecologically sound dyeing methods.

Kutipan

    Cones processed with vinegar alone give pinkish-reds.

    As is the case with apple, cherry, pear, and peach, the leaves and bark of the plum yield excellent dyes (Prunus is the genus for plum, peach, cherry, almond, and many other fruits. Because there is little chance of confusion it is sufficient to call a plum ‘plum’ and a peach ‘peach.’). The fruit may also be used, especially if it is diseased or otherwise inedible. Dyers who live in areas where plum grows wild (P. nigra, Canada plum; and P. americana, wild plum) may wish to try these fruits for dyes. Leechman gives a recipe for the bark of P. nigra, and quotes the British astrologer and physician, Culpeper, who wrote that all plums are under Venus and, like women, some are better than others (p 51).
