The book delves into the traditions of vegetable dyeing, discussing its decline in favor of synthetic dyes and emphasizing the importance of natural color in craftsmanship. It aims to revive and document the practices, knowledge, and recipes for dyeing various fibers with traditional substances. The opening of this book sets the stage for a robust exploration of dyeing as an artistic craft, lamenting the loss of traditional methods in a modern world inundated with synthetic options. Mairet reflects on how the beauty of colors obtainable through natural dyes has been overshadowed by the ease of chemical dyes, urging artisans to reconnect with the rich history of dyeing. The introduction also outlines the book's contents, which reveal a structured approach to not only the dyeing process but also the types of materials and techniques needed for effective results, ultimately encouraging readers to develop their own practices in this fading art.
