Natural Dyes from plants
How to gather plant materials and use them to dye fabrics.
http://www.pioneerthinking.com/naturaldyes.html
Besides the how to, there is a color chart listing the plant materials recommended to get that color. One thing I liked is their respect for the eco-system. They include a warning to limit what you collect. In other words, do not act like a starving locust and strip the species from an area.
One of our members, Larry Ashley, is very knowledgeable about using plants as fabric dye.
