| DYES FROM AMERICAN NATIVE PLANTS. Richards, Tyrl. The dyeing of textiles and other materials is a rewarding and delightful way to bring the colors of nature to daily living. Dyes from plants offer subtle and diverse hues unavailable from synthetic sources. They connect practitioners to the environment as well as to the crafts and history of our ancestors. In this fascinating book, the authors have compiled extensive information to bring the techniques, plants, and lore of natural dyeing within every reader’s reach. Chapters include discussions of color theory, dye equipment, dye processes, mordants, and instructions for processing plants and dyeing fabrics. The core of the book is an exhaustive reference to the hundreds of colors that can be obtained from 158 commonly encountered North American plant species. #B-13461.
