Was a free book when this post was written. A very basic introduction to dyeing wool yarn or fleece with natural dyes.
Gather flower blossoms,berries, nuts, lichens on fallen wood and weeds to dye yarn in awonderful pallet of color. A short booklet with color photos for
the crafter, home dyer and anyone working with children using aminimum of supplies.
Photos of dye plants and yarn in the dye bath may inspire you to try the simple techniques yourself.
