Australian and New Zealand home dyers have, in their native plants, a wonderful range of dyestuffs unknown in the northern hemisphere, and their potential is fully explored and explained in this book by Joyce Lloyd, who also includes sections on the uses of common flowers, garden vegetables and weeds in the dyebath. Her instructions are based on years and years of practical experiment and experience with plant dyestuffs, and they are clear, simple and designed for the beginner who is starting from scratch on this fascinating branch of craftwork.
