Book Review: A Yarn Lover's Guide for sure
Summary: 4 Stars
I LOVE this book...... WOW!!! The patterns interspersed between the dyeing techniques are quite inspirational. Even though I don't plan on dyeing any yarn any time soon it's good to know what goes into it to get inspired and maybe even prompt you into design knitting projects with the crafting of yarns in mind.
Inspired by colour!!

Take your craft to the next level.For rich, unique yarns of your very own creation, The Yarn Lover's Guide to Hand Dyeing is your essential go-to guide.
Now you can create gorgeous, unique, handpainted yarns in your very own kitchen. In this practical guide to dyeing yarn at home, you'll learn simple techniques for creating beautiful, colorful yarns-and pick up some new patterns to highlight your new hues along the way.
Fiber artist, knitter, and teacher Linda LaBelle provides her own valuable expertise and insight and gives readers a peek into a typical day in the lives of seven professional hand dyers through lush photographs and personal interviews in which they share their thoughts, advice, and sometimes dyeing secrets!
