5.0 out of 5 stars Best book around for plant dyes, 14 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Rita gives CLEAR instructions on WHAT part of the plant to harvest for which color; which mordants and which fibers produce which colors; and what time of the year to harvest the plant. In addition, her color photos of the color outcome are neatly stacked along the right edge, enabling the reader to flip through the book to see the colors. There is also an appendix listing where the reader can get seeds for the plants in the book. Anyone interested in trying GOOD dye plants (almost any plant will give you at least tan) should have this small, well-written and beautifully illustrated book. Rita is one of the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent little book, 1 April 2007
By Mrs. Janet Miller (North Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an inspiring, compact book on natural dyeing and how to grow the plants for it. But once again it comes from North America, so some of the plants are hard to find here. You can find some at 7wells.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific -- and "For Real", 17 May 1999
By A Customer
Beautifully researched, solid data, and great color illustrations and presentation AND amazingly enough, her information is ACCURATE. No theoretical blather based on other references or wishful thinking. She has clearly tested, cross-checked, and validated all of her information first-hand. That in itself is remarkable, greatly appreciated, enormously valuable. Thank you Ms. Buchanan!
