This is a good book. I don't own it but Hill Country Weaveris
carries it and I've looked at it a lot.

Do you have more information on this? Can you mail order from
them. It sounds like a really interesting pamphlet.

I've seen these. I have Adrosko's Dying book that was put out by
Dover. It's a nice little book and has a good history about New World dye
plants.
I also like Rita Buchanan's "Weaver's Garden" and "Dyer's Garden"
She's good about talking about how to grow dye plants and weaving tools. i
really like both of them.
