HERB - dye plants

[N.D. Wederstrandt]

>  I like Sue Grierson The Colour Caldron --traditional Scottish dyeing
>It is still in print I think.

	This is a good book. I don't own it but Hill Country Weaveris
carries it and I've looked at it a lot.
>
>  There's a very nice Medieval dye plants pamplet available from an
>weaving laurel in
>the Outlands--her shop is called Spinning Madly, outside Ft. Collins.
	Do you have more information on this?  Can you mail order from
them.  It sounds like a really interesting pamphlet.
>
>Also keep your eyes open dye books (pamplets really) by Adrosko and by
>the New York Botanic Garden --long out of print but very useful.
	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.
