This book is an illustrated guide to natural dyeing, suitable for beginners and experienced dyers, covers topics like foraging, simple stitch techniques, and achieving delightful projects. From Forest + Found studio co-founder Abigail Booth, this book delves into natural dyes derived from plants and minerals. From onion and avocado skins to chamomile and birch bark, nature’s bounty can produce lovely colors.
