plant dyes
*This book is only available in French*
It’s a bit of chemistry, a bit of cooking, a return to nature and the cycle of the seasons, a taste for time spent testing colours, mixing, heating, drying and starting again.
It means paying attention to the colours offered by plants, and using them in textile creations with subtle, natural shades.
product description
Aurélia Wolff mixes leaves, roots, bark and flowers to create colour charts that she explores on different materials: skeins of wool, weaving or knitting yarns, organic fabric or recycled materials, linen grown and made in France.
A craftswoman first and foremost, in this book she shares the fruits of her experience in natural dyeing and her environmentally-friendly approach.
An erudite, practical guide that blends recipe and theory, history and inspiration, to explore the rich world of plant dyes and give us a chance to play with nature’s palette.
