Jump on in, the dyebath’s fine!

There are so many reasons that you might hesitate to plunge into natural dyeing. Sometimes you just don’t have the resources—time, brain space, budget, or all three—to devote to a craft that can have a steep learning curve. Or perhaps you are worried about “ruining” good fiber and ending up with a pile of beige skeins.

These are all very real concerns, and this booklet can help smooth your path. Three experienced natural dyers offer some easy ways to get started. 
Learn how to use common grocery items like onion skins, alum, and vinegar with Madeline Keller-King. Then Dagmar Klos encourages you to dip into your stash yarns to create a cohesive palette by overdyeing with tea, black walnuts, and marigolds. 
And, finally, Martha Owen shares her “magic pot” method of combining multiple dyestuffs for a fun, multicolor effect.
