Lily S. ★★★★★

The shibori section was surprisingly easy to follow, and my first indigo scarf turned out beautifully—even better than the Pinterest version I was trying to copy.

Grace W. ★★★★★

My kids and I had a blast with the crumple dyeing projects—the step-by-step instructions made it easy even for my 7-year-old. We've already tried three different techniques from this book.

James ★★★★☆

I was pleasantly surprised by how detailed the instructions are for techniques like ice dyeing and ombre. The projects are stylish enough that my teenager actually wanted to try a few with me. Only wish it included a bit more guidance on pre-washing fabrics.
