KOEKBOYA is a Turkish word. Literally translated, it means root-dye. It is used in Turkey for all kinds of natural dyes, whether they are actually made from roots or rather from flowers, leaves, tubers, or seeds. Even insect dyes are included in the Turkish expression KOEKBOYA. In this book, almost 100 dye plants from Turkey and around the world are introduced on a scientific basis: their botany, their qualities for dyeing, their cultural and historical importance, and - in light of the world-wide Renaissance of natural dyeing - aspects concerning their reintroduction for professional use or as a hobby. Tested dye instructions ease access to their practical use. In addition, there are special chapters on the various dyeing techniques, on dye insects, indigo and Tyrian Purple, as well as on textiles fibers; from wool and cotton to wild silk, hemp and rafia.
