Entry/Object ID

TT854.3.B6

Description

Fabrics colored with natural dyes have a beauty and subtlety all of their own. Onion and avocado skins, chamomile and birch bark, and nettles and acorns can produce lovely, ethereal colors and effects. The Wild Dyer demystifies this eco-conscious art, focusing on foraging and growing dying materials, repurposing kitchen trimmings, making and using long-lasting dyes, and creating stitched projects.
