Back Cover Information

Colour on Cloth helps you unleash the power of dye on fabric. As the stunning photography of finished fabrics in this book show, gloriously colorful effects that can be created on fabric using simple cold-water dyes.

The range of techniques include direct dyeing, layered dyeing, painting with dye, pattern dyeing, and folding techniques, using resists such as flour or potato dextrin and devore, in which fabric is 'burnt out' to create a textured effect. Many different fabrics are used, such as cotton, silk, satin, linen, and cotton velvet, as well as threads and stitching.

Easy-to-follow dye 'recipes' allow you to mix up the jewel-like colors used throughout the book, and guidance is given on the technical aspects of color and dyeing including safety considerations.

It will appeal to all those involved in textiles, such as embroiderers, quilters and textile artists, as well as students and teachers of design. Most importantly, the author urges you to develop your own creativity and learn to experiment with color.
