The Ashford Book of Dyeing
Author: Ann Miller
The Ashford Book of Dyeing is a comprehensive, clearly written introduction to the wonderful world of color - placed on yarn or fabric exactly how- and where you want it.
The text is immediately accessible to the absolute beginner. From an outline of basic principles, the author takes a step-by-step approach describing yarns, fabrics, relevant dyes and techniques. For the more experienced dyer, she also provides detailed recipes for named dyes, intructions for advanced techniques and a very clear discussion of percentage dyeing, a system that enables the dyer to recreate exactly a specific shade of color.
This new edition of The Ashford Book of Dyeing also includes a chapter of projects which guides the dyer through a series of practical exercises designed to help develop an appreciation and understanding of the techniques involved.
In an extensive section on natural dyeing, Ann Mlilner details the results of her own experiments with a wide range of natural dyestuffs and encourages the dyer in an exploration of his or her own environment. As she says 'The joy of using natural dyes is discovering them for yourself. The aromatic smell of the yarn and the soft, warm, subtle colors will be your reward.'
