Journeys in Natural Dyeing: Techniques for Creating Color | Kristine Vejar & Adrienne Rodriguez

Journeys in Natural Dyeing travels through Iceland, Mexico, Japan, and Indonesia to explore the traditions, landscapes, and communities behind naturally dyed textiles. Authors Kristine Vejar and Adrienne Rodriguez visit makers who work with locally sourced dyes, revealing how color can carry a deep connection to place, culture, and the natural world. Alongside these stories, the book brings natural dyeing home with practical recipes and projects for creating more than 400 shades of color. Readers learn how locally available plants and materials can be transformed into beautiful, lasting color and how the practice of natural dyeing can deepen our relationship with the textiles we make and use. Part travelogue, part textile study, and part hands-on guide, this is a beautiful exploration of natural color and the communities and traditions that surround it.
