Book Reviews of Yarns to Dye For: Creating Self-Patterning Yarns for Knitting
Book Review: Even I could understand!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been wanted to dye yarn with a pattern for some time now, and finally found a book that really helped me do so. while my first attempt came out to be striped and not patterned, my second worked well. with each successive try i know i will get better. The patterns in the book are less helpful that the detail of the techniques to use, so you can really create whatever pattern you like if you read the instructions and think a bit outside the given patterns. wonderful book.
