With breathtaking color photographs, maps that show the range of each plant throughout North America, and seasonally based knitting projects, Harvesting Color is an essential guide for this burgeoning field. Harvesting Color presents the entire process of infusing your life with color-finding the right plants, harvesting them at the best time, transforming the crop into beautiful dye, and finally, marrying pigment to fiber.

Dyeing your own fabric can produce gorgeous colors, as more and more crafters are discovering. Master dyer Rebecca Burgess spotlights thirty-six plants that will yield beautiful natural shades, and she shows just how easy the dyes are to make. Pokeberry creates a vibrant magenta while a range of soft lavender shades is derived from elderberries; indigo yields a bright blue, and coyote brush produces stunning sunny yellows. In this beautiful book, Rebecca Burgess showcases three dozen common plants that yield striking hues. Organized seasonally, with a knitting project using wools colored with dyes from plants harvested during that time of year in each section.
