Natural Dyes

Excerpts on Natural Dyeing, from Alter M. Gardner's Wool Dyeing, Part II.

This book is the best, most thorough chemical discussion of the whole range of classic natural dyestuffs. Originally published in 1886, Cheryl has reprinted the pages that discuss natural dyes, including the metallic dyes. The information is applicable to dyeing silk, cotton, and wool. This new reprint includes additions by Cheryl on philosophy and practice, recipes used in her workshops, a three page "Table of the Mordants," and "Medical Uses of Natural Dyes."
