Fern, cosmos, nettle, bramble... Many plants in our more or less nearby environment have dyeing properties sometimes known for centuries but neglected after the appearance of synthetic dyes. With the help of the different cards collected in this book, you will be able to identify 60 local dyeing plants and discover the immense variety of colors they allow. Let yourself be guided by the explanations of the different dyeing methods and do your own experiments with cotton, wool, silk, etc., to develop your own range of plant colors.
As part of a sustainable and eco-responsible approach to dyeing, this practical guide invites you to open your eyes to the plants around you to find many natural sources of color.
