My reference for natural dyeing! I use this as one of my primary reference books for natural dyeing. Trudy has a nice style providing a good framework for beginners to be successful.

The photos are gorgeous and the text is clear. Bonus is a detailed chapter on conducting a dyein. A Customer said Read it in one sitting, great book. Lovely color pictures!.
