Product Description

Review

She advises using gloves but her methods are so neat and tidy I doubt even these would get stained -- Popular Patchwork July/August 2001

The approach is straightforward and not overburdened with technical information. All a beginner needs to knowin order to start dyeing. -- The Quilter No 88 Autumn 2001

The chapter devoted to Dyeing with children was extremely good and well proven by a teacher at a local craft centre. -- Fabrications - August 2001

This book promises no mess, no fuss - just great colours, and it certainly delivers -- Stitch No 16 May/June 2002

5.0 out of 5 stars Good starter book for home dyers 22 April 2002
By A Customer
This is an approachable, easy to understand book which does not scare the first time dyer who wants to use her kitchen for dyeing. All measurements are in easy to hand form such as cups and spoons. Very useful for someone who wants to experiment with the least amount of fuss and mess.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good basic instructions in an easy-to-understand style 12 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This is an excellent book for new to dye-ers, and a useful tool for those who have dabbled before. The recipes are simple and the illustrations make you want to pick up your cat-litter tray and get going! It also proves that you don't need much space to create beautiful colours on fabric

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book, particularly for beginners 8 May 2002
By threadsgalore@yahoo.co.uk
I have been dyeing professionally for a number of years. I was shown this book by a customer who wanted to dabble, and I now use it in my teaching workshops. The information provided is excellent, and this is an ideal way to introduce dyeing using equipment which would otherwise be discarded.

The book is written in a clear and concise way, and easy recipes are included giving a very good starting point.

5.0 out of 5 stars First time dyer success 21 Jun 2011
By GrannieMo

I was reccommended this book before attending an informal class in dyeing.
Other than "tie dying" in the 60's this was a first time try and I found it easy to follow with interesting results.
Can't wait to have another session.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete and inaccurate 19 Mar 2002
By A Customer
The author has not included accurate information about the amount of dye to use - it varies according to the weight of the fabric and the weight of the dye - and she doesn't tell you this. She specifies very weak solutions so your results will be very pale. She has also misrepresents the purpose of the various chemicals used...
