1000 Farben auf Wolle und Seide

Wool and silk, whether in fiber form, as yarn, or as fabric, can be easily and permanently dyed with acid dyes that are lightfast. Using the primary colors yellow, pink, blue, and black from the company Ashford as examples, Gabriele Breuer's book describes the necessary steps in detail: preparing the starting material, creating dye solutions, deliberately mixing shades, various dyeing and painting techniques, and the quick and straightforward fixation of the dyeing in a microwave. With the help of numerous detailed mixing recipes, beginners also have access to an extensive color palette: all the colors of the rainbow, pastel shades, muted earth tones – the possibilities are endless. Further dyeing projects encourage experimentation with different materials.
