Dye Plants and Dyeing

Dye Plants and Dyeing by Cannon, John. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780881925722.

A newly revised edition of the popular 1994 book, this clear account of plants from which natural dyes can be obtained will be welcomed not only by all who work with fiber arts but also by botanists. The authors have selected 48 plants from different parts of the world and they describe each plants structure and cultivation, the history of each as a dye source, and the best method for a plants use based on their own experiments. Most well-known dye plants are discussed, and each plant is beautifully illustrated by Gretel Dalby-Quenet in a full-page painting that shows the colors the plant can yield.
