Botanical Dyes is a practical guide to making your own natural dyes, filled with recipes, tips, and step-by-step instructions.

The process of turning plants into color helps you reconnect with nature, find a creative outlet, and cultivate a mindful sense of presence. It also encourages sustainable practices and shows how to reduce your impact on the planet.

Drawing on her previous book Botanical Inks, Babs takes home crafters through every stage of the process, including:

• Foraging for plants and selecting the best dyes

• Making mordants to prepare fibers for color

• Creating a wide palette of shades from natural sources

• Simple projects to test your new dyeing skills

• Troubleshooting tips and explanations of what works and why

With more than 10 dye recipes, clear guidance, and accessible instructions, Botanical Dyes is the handbook modern makers have been waiting for.
