| Hand Dyeing Yarn and Fleece: Dip-Dyeing, Hand-Painting, Tie-Dyeing, and Other... by Gail CallahanYou know that feeling when all you need for a fiber craft project is one perfect color, but you can't find it? If you've felt that feeling, this empowering guide to hand-dyeing is for you. Using basic kitchen equipment, you can create custom-colored yarn or fleece for knitting, crocheting, weaving, or any other kind of fiber art. If you're a beginner, you can start with recipe-style tutorials featuring powdered drink mixes and other pre-made dyes; more seasoned crafters can turn to the more complicated dyes and techniques on offer, such as self-striping or hand-painted fibers. There's even color theory advice for crafters stuck in the design phase, which "adds to the 'you can do this!' feel" (Library Journal). |
