Creating this “Botanical Dyeing on a Budget” workbook is the culmination of experience gained from Sarah Clarkson's herbal medicine practice, her dyeing routines and her continuous ongoing learning. It allows Sarah to share the exciting experience of dyeing small quantities of yarn using fresh plants collected locally, to produce a range of beautiful colours, from yellows to browns to oranges to pinks to purples to greens.
This version is suitable for right-handed handed writers as the "Notes" pages are on the right side of the spiral bound 28-page workbook.
