Synopsis

Abigail Booth introduces the essentials of natural dyeing, from sourcing materials to preparing cloth and building a dye vat. Alongside guidance on scouring, mordanting with a fixative and creating reliable colour, she shows how to turn dyed fabric into finished textiles using straightforward stitch and patchwork methods.

The projects range from everyday pieces to homewares, including a drawstring forager’s bag, an apron, samplers, cushions and a reversible patchwork blanket. With 140 colour illustrations, it is designed for crafters interested in making decorative and practical items with naturally derived dyes.
