From the publisher, Schiffer Books:


Botanical Colors’ Founder Kathy Hattori says:

Along with some pretty slick ways to print using indigo, I really appreciated the clear explanation of the scour, mordant and dye functions that are necessary for well-dyed textiles and the detailed recipes. The authors take great care to explain the function of many of the common chemical ingredients that ensure a quality dye outcome so that when you start to dye, you know why you are using an ingredient, when to use it, and what the expected outcome is. They introduce fascinating mordant methods as well as ways to re-use spent dye baths, and a comprehensive explanation of the 1-2-3 indigo vat. There’s tons more in this book and I know I will spend a lot of time reviewing and learning from it.

This is a great book to fill in many of the practical and technical gaps in natural dyeing in a manner that is complete and detailed and should serve as a useful reference for many dyers.
