Book Reviews of Dyeing to Knit
Book Review: Another disappointed buyer
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the book when it first came out and I wanted some basics but found the book more attractive than instructional. After having gained a lot of hands-on experience with fiber dyeing, I picked up the book to see if it's more useful. Sadly I found it even less so.
I'm not sure the writer or her editor knew just which audience to target. For novice dyers, there are plenty of sources for finding more details on how to handle different fibers and which dyes to try. For the experienced dyer, there aren't any striking and different approaches to tackle. It's a lovely book to browse through but not much of an investment for your library of references.
Summary of Dyeing to Knit
Hand-dyed yarns are so sensuous, with their custom hues and rich blends of colors, that every knitter longs to work with them. But once we've brought home some of those precious skeins, what next? In Dyeing to Knit, designer and dyer Elaine Eskesen demystifies hand-dyed yarns by providing straightforward how-to information both for using the yarns and dyeing your own, and encouraging you to trust your own creative instincts. Includes instructions for 21 patterns, from scarves to sweaters and hats to mittens.Dye Books
