This includes how to choose the best fabrics, an explanation of the different mordants, necessary equipment and how to store dyes. The second part highlights Katie's favorite dye plants, from marigold and madder to avocado pits, and has instructions for common dyeing techniques like bundle dyeing and immersion dyeing.
In the final part of the book, Katie shows you how to create 18 beautiful fashion and homeware pieces with your dyed fabrics, from an indigo linen robe to madder and marigold dyed socks to a pomegranate and geranium silk eye mask.
Packed with stunning imagery of the dyeing process, textiles and project ideas, Hand Dyed Designs will inspire you to walk outside and make art with nature.
