A reprint of the 1935 U.S. Department of Agriculture booklet on dyeing cotton and wool at home with natural dyestuffs. It covers color fastness, color theory, equipment, and the steps of weighing, washing and mordanting, then gives alphabetical recipes for about 65 barks, leaves, flowers, lichens, roots, hulls and berries, plus indigo vats and cochineal. It ends with a section on top-dyeing to combine dyes (black, gray, green, purple, red) and a key to colors and dye materials.
