Description
Inspire and unleash a passion for hand-crafted color! Unapologetic is how Felicia Lo always describes her obsession with color and craft. This book provides clear and accessible guidance for creating gorgeous hand-dyed fibers and understanding how dyeing affects knitted yarn and knitted handspun. Fiber artists will learn the fundamentals of how color works, what to expect when working with color, and how to control the results when dyeing wool and silk yarns and fibers. Spinners will learn how to subdue overly bright colorways or prevent muddiness in handspun, for example. Knitters will have the knowledge to avoid pooling, if desired. Includes 10 patterns that use hand-dyed (and handspun) yarns and fibers to their most exciting advantage in knitting projects.
