Edited and greatly expanded new edition of the book "Dying wool and silk with natural substances - bright colors without toxic additives" with 90 old and 110 new main recipes, many sub-recipes and precise instructions for dyeing. The materials, plants and additives used are described in detail according to their origin, ingredients and cultural and historical background. The author has taken up the suggestions of many women to collect or grow the dye plants themselves. In addition to exotic, it primarily describes native dye plants and their use. A practical book that also teaches beginners how to dye with natural substances and, with 197 predominantly colored illustrations, makes the book an aesthetic pleasure - not just for dyers!
