This book is designed to help you start dyeing with a minimal amount of time, effort, and supplies. If you already know the basics, you will find some new approaches and techniques. There are many ways to dye fabric. I’ve experimented and adapted methods to find the ways of working that fit my needs.
· Fast: I generally use methods that don’t take a lot of time or effort. I want to dye the fabric and start using it.
· Fun: I dye fabric for myself because it’s fun, so I don’t want to get bogged down by complicated methods, time-consuming techniques, or extensive record-keeping.
· Easy: I always have dyeing supplies on hand, but because I dye sporadically, I don’t want to keep mixed dyes or other solutions around. I mix what I need when I need it. I also use the minimum amount of supplies to get the job done.
In addition to dyeing fabric to make quilts, garments, and other projects, I have learned that it's just as easy to dye clothes, household goods, and other things I already have. In my house, anything that is light-colored or stained is a prime candidate for dyeing. I routinely dye clothing, as well as faded bath towels, spotted kitchen towels, stained linen tablecloths and napkins, and more.
So what are you waiting for?

Mike Hills will present a program on herbal dye plants that he helped Jane Haynes prepare and present to the Herb Society of America Annual Meeting in 2006. Great details and information on the history of plants used for dyeing fabric, leather, basketry, etc. Many of Jane's beautiful plant-dyed samples will be on hand for discussion and observation. Jane has made a study of the colors that can be created from our Arizona garden and native plants, since she moved here in the 1970's. With the aid of mordants, and the proper natural materials, the range of colors available will astound you.

Dyeing is the process of adding color to textile products like fibers, yarns, and fabrics.[1] Dyeing is normally done in a special solution containing dyes and particular chemical material. After dyeing, dye molecules have uncut chemical bond with fiber molecules. The temperature and time controlling are two key factors in dyeing. There are mainly two classes of dye, natural and man-made.
The primary source of dye, historically, has generally been nature, with the dyes being extracted from animals or plants. Since the mid-18th century, however, humans have produced artificial dyes to achieve a broader range of colors and to render the dyes more stable to resist washing and general use. Different classes of dyes are used for different types of fiber and at different stages of the textile production process, from loose fibers through yarn and cloth to completed garments.
Acrylic fibers are dyed with basic dyes, while nylon and protein fibers such as wool and silk are dyed with acid dyes, and polyester yarn is dyed with disperse dyes. Cotton is dyed with a range of dye types, including vat dyes, and modern synthetic reactive and direct dyes
