This book introduces you to the practical fundamentals of dyeing, from selecting fibres and preparing fabric to understanding how natural and synthetic dyes bond with different materials. You will learn about common dye sources, including plant-based options and modern chemical dyes, along with the mordants and fixatives that affect colour strength and durability. The book also explains basic techniques such as immersion dyeing, tie-dye methods, and colour mixing, while addressing safety precautions and washing care for finished pieces. Written to give you a clear, practical overview rather than an exhaustive technical manual, this guide is intended as an accessible starting point for anyone curious about working with fabric dyes.
