"Kristine's book breaks down natural dyeing from both a scientific and
creative perspective, making the process feel as approachable as it is
beautiful." — Design*Sponge Thousands of natural materials can
produce glorious color—the insect cochineal produces pink, maroon,
and purple, and more than 500 species of plants produce indigo blue.
In The Modern Natural Dyer expert Kristine Vejar shares the most
user-friendly techniques for dyeing yarn, fabric, and finished goods
at home with foraged and garden-raised dyestuffs as well as with
convenient natural dye extracts. Demystifying the "magic," Vejar
explains in explicit, easy-to-follow detail how to produce consistent,
long-lasting color. With stunning photography of the dyes themselves,
the dyeing process, and twenty projects for home and wardrobe (some to
knit, some to sew, and some just a matter of submerging a finished
piece in a prepared bath), The Modern Natural Dyer is a complete
resource for aspiring and experienced dye artisans. "A terrific primer
for anyone new to the technique. Kristine walks you through the ins
and outs of the process, from defining what scouring and mordanting
mean to helping you learn how best to achieve desired colors." — DIY
Network "Vejar's lovely book is very sophisticated and detailed." —
Library Journal (starred review) "Absolutely stunning . . . The
projects range from dyeing pre-made items like a slip, silk scarf or
tote bag to dyeing yarn to knit a hat, shawl or cardigan . . .
exceeded all my high expectations." — Make Something
