Your yarn dyeing : a book for handweavers and spinners with 21 diagrams and a colour plate. by Elsie G. Davenport

A very dense book, with lots of specific recipes. Many use chemical dyes which don't appear to be in widespread use (if available at all) in 2009. There is some information about mordanting and natural dyeing, and a section on colour mixing. I didn't read it all-just skimmed it. Probably not the best choice for a beginner dyer if other books are available. Margo April 09
