The forests, gardens, and wild spaces of the Pacific Northwest hold an extraordinary hidden palette. Brilliant yellows sleep in goldenrod flowers and birch leaves. Deep reds wait in the roots of bedstraw and the caps of cortinarius mushrooms. Seafoam greens emerge from strange toothed fungi, and even blue can be coaxed from a common orange lichen. Wild Dyes of the Pacific Northwest is your guide to discovering and using these natural colours, whether you call this region home, visit from time to time, or love to learn everything you can about natural dye sources and how to use them.

Marketing Notes
- The first comprehensive guide to natural dye sources in the PNW
- Many of these sources are found far beyond this region, so this book should appeal to those from farther afield
- Front of the book involves an excellent and detailed overview of how to work with natural dyes, and the meat of the book is a field guide to dye sources including tips for identification and photos of colour samples
