Brilliant Colours with Natural Dyes, by Cheryl Kolander, is the best beginner's manual. It includes all the recipes and assorted information she gives at her workshops, plus a very detailed step-by-step walk through, called "Apprentice for a Day." Indigo is covered, as are paint dyeing basics. Recipes and procedures work for all fibres, and all fibre forms are addressed.
Mordants make the colour fast and help change it's hue.
To better understand the crucial role of the mordant in the production of permanent colours with Natural Dyes, please read the tutorial on natural dyework.
