Review Quotes
"The Modern Natural Dyer is a terrific primer for anyone new to the technique. Kristine walks you through the ins and outs of the process, from defining what scouring and mordanting mean to helping you learn how best to achieve desired colors."-- "DIY Network"
"Kristine's book breaks down natural dyeing from both a scientific and creative perspective, making the process (which has always seemed intimidating to me) feel as approachable as it is beautiful. I love the projects in the book because, in addition to learning basic dye formulas and techniques, the DIY ideas are a nice balance of classic and contemporary. From cool, blousy shirts (that would look at home in any hip boutique) to table linens and pillows, The Modern Natural Dyer is a great way to dive into the world of dyeing."-- "Design*Sponge"
"This book is an amazing resource for hand-dyeing using natural materials and crafting with the results. If you've never dyed before it will give you the bug, and if you've tried some dyeing projects in the past you will definitely want this book on your shelf for reference and inspiration."-- "About.com (5 stars)"
"Vejar's lovely book is very sophisticated and detailed."-- "Library Journal (starred review)"
