NATURAL DYEING LINEN THREAD FOR STITCHING BOOKS Deep madder root reds, indigo blues, sunny yellows, and chestnut browns - these are just the tip of the iceberg of natural color possibilities. In this workshop we will use both whole plant, and dye extracts for small scale natural dyeing. The threads we choose to bind with are an important design consideration when making books, especially for exposed spine styles. In this workshop we will imbed colorful meaning into our stitches using the alchemy of botanical dyes. Students will leave with several skeins of dyed line linen, and the know how to dye more later.
