Debbie says: “Reprinted after much haranguing of the publishers, Jenny’s Wild Colour has long been one of the most sought-after titles for beginner dyers (as well as more experienced ones!). Getting started is easy with clear step-by-step photos. There are also simple to follow methods for woad and indigo and a good range of recipes, organised by dyestuff.
