Small Compact book with very useful information

Reviewed in Australia on 8 February 2022

Verified Purchase

It might be a relatively small book but it is full to the brim on everything you need to know to make dye from plant materials in your garden, kitchen waste and collected from a bush walk. Love that the mordant used is Soy MIlk (home made or shop bought). All I need is to find someone who eats avocado so I can pinch their seeds and skin. I need pink dyed linen in my fabric stash. This will definitely be one of my favourite go to dye books.

Beautiful!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 March 2018

Verified Purchase

I’ve followed Rebecca on Instagram for a while and was always intrigued by her use of soy milk as a mordant. I’ve dyed with acid dyes and citric acid before but have been keen to get into natural dying for a long time. What put me off was the use of alum which is no better for the environment than acid dying, or so I’ve read.

This book tells you everything you need to know to just get on with it! From buying produce to dye with to gathering plants from nature, Rebecca has covered it.

The photos are also beautiful and Rebecca provides examples of potential dye colours you can expect from various plants.

I’m so happy I bought this book!

Great for UK based dyers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2019

Verified Purchase

In my opinion this is the best book on the market for UK dyers. It is thorough without being too technical, uses plants we know and recognise and the fact that the author uses soy milk to mordant makes it super user friendly.

Tiny - but brilliant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2019

Verified Purchase

The book arrived today and instantly I was disappointed - it’s so small ! A5 in size and only 100 pages for £16 !
BUT ... it’s brilliant !
The information is beautifully set out, well illustrated and very inspirational ! I’ve signed up for Rebecca’s email updates and am following her work on instragram !

Simple and easy to understand

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 November 2020

Verified Purchase

Absolutely beautiful book!!! Written in a simple straightforward easy to understand format. What I particularly liked was it was written for the uk. The plants and vegetables used for dying were familiar and easily accessible.
A perfect introduction to home dying with the nature we find around us.
