    “Found this in a tiny bookstore in a corner of Paris. I think it comes in multiple cover colors, but mine is yellow. It covers the many methods of dyeing and specifically folk practices for natural dye. Fun one to look through or just open up and learn about a new method or source of a famous hue at a time.”
