‎Spectrum - Dye Plants of Ontario‎

‎Richmond Hill ON Canada: Burr House Spinners and Weavers Guild 1986. Book. Very Good. Paperback. First Edition. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. 309 pages including index and bibliography. Presented by the dyers of Ontario to those who share their appreciation of the plant world and join in their commitment to its conservation. Compiled from classic and contemporary books on plant dyeing it is a pictorial catalogue of more than three hundred dye plants which grow or can be cultivated in the province or in regions with similar climates. The first section explains the dye project and its structures together with material on plant gathering plant identification and the plants themselves. The second section presents useful information on preparing the plants and fibres for the dyeing process. The experienced dyer will find unfamiliar plant sources for the dye pot; the inexperienced dyer will also find a review of mordanting and dyeing procedures. Represents one element of a fibre exhibition entitled Spectrum '86 - Natural Dyes Natural Fibres" organized by the Burr House Spinners and Weavers Guild of Richimond Hill Ontario. The exhibition and this catalogue arose in response to a call for special fibre events to celebrate the first biennial meeting of the Handweavers Guild of America to be held outside the United States in Toronto in July 1986. This catalogue represents the culmination of two years of research experimentation and documentation - a cooperative effort on the parts of guilds and individuals dyers and artists from all parts of Ontario.
