Kristine Vejar is the owner of A Verb for Keeping Warm, a popular yarn store and natural dye studio in Oakland, California. A Fulbright scholar, she began her intensive study and practice of natural dyeing nearly two decades ago in India.
“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)*
“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.”

“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.”
