The "Guide to Dye Plants" offers an exceptional collection of

best collections of natural dyeing material available:

A list of more than 300 common North American dye plants and trees

Full descriptions of which individual plant parts can be used as
dyestuffs (berries, bark, leaves, roots, etc.)

Detailed lists of the colors (often multiple) that can be derived from
each plant's dyestuffs, when used alone or combined with various
mordants

Special section on 150 plants indigenous to the Pacific Northwest (some
of which are found in other parts of the country). This section
provides the same detail noted above, in addition to plant genus.

Chapter on wool mordanting, with tried-and-true recipes for various
mordants (alum, chrome, iron, tin and copper)

Color-specific lists of all the plants and dyestuffs that are sources of
yellow, orange, reds and pinks, green, blue, purple, gray, black, browns
and tans.

Additional instructions for the preparation of dyestuffs, the dyeing
process, fabric preparations and tests, procion print & screen paste
recipes, working with Indigo, and much more
