- Dyes
And Paints
- by
Elin Noble - $54.95
This
comprehensive handbook covers all the fundamentals of dyeing
and colouring fabric with Procion MX fiber-reactive dyes
and with textile paints. Many of the techniques can also
be adapted for yarn, ribbon, paper, basket reed and even
wood. Another kaleidoscope of dyeing techniques, but I think
Elin's strength in using Procion MX dyes is demonstrated,
as the majority of this book deals with different uses with
dyes. |
