  A Perfect Red , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 626min

  A Perfect Red recounts the colorful history of cochineal, a legendary red dye that was once one of the world's most precious commodities. Treasured by the ancient Mexicans, cochineal was sold in the great Aztec marketplaces, where it attracted the attention of the Spanish conquistadors in 1519. Shipped to Europe, the dye created a sensation, producing the brightest, strongest red the world had ever seen. Soon Spain's cochineal monopoly was worth a fortune. Desperate to find their own sources of the elusive dye, the English, French, Dutch, and other Europeans tried to crack the enigma of cochineal. Did it come from a worm, a berry, a seed? Could it be stolen from Mexico and transplanted to their own colonies? Pirates, explorers, alchemists, scientists, and spies - all joined the chase for cochineal, a chase that lasted more than three centuries. A Perfect Red tells their stories - true-life tales of mystery, empire, and adventure, in pursuit of the most desirable color on earth.

  The Modern Natural Dyer (eBook, ePUB)

  "Kristine's book breaks down natural dyeing from both a scientific and creative perspective, making the process feel as approachable as it is beautiful." -Design*Sponge Thousands of natural materials can produce glorious color-the insect cochineal produces pink, maroon, and purple, and more than 500 species of plants produce indigo blue. InThe Modern Natural Dyerexpert Kristine Vejar shares the most user-friendly techniques for dyeing yarn, fabric, and finished goods at home with foraged and garden-raised dyestuffs as well as with convenient natural dye extracts. Demystifying the "magic," Vejar explains in explicit, easy-to-follow detail how to produce consistent, long-lasting color. With stunning photography of the dyes themselves, the dyeing process, and twenty projects for home and wardrobe (some to knit, some to sew, and some just a matter of submerging a finished piece in a prepared bath),The Modern Natural Dyeris a complete resource for aspiring and experienced dye artisans. "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." -DIY Network "Vejar's lovely book is very sophisticated and detailed." -Library Journal (starred review) "Absolutely stunning... The projects range from dyeing pre-made items like a slip, silk scarf or tote bag to dyeing yarn to knit a hat, shawl or cardigan... exceeded all my high expectations." -Make Something
