Create one-of-a-kind fiber arts projects with "exciting and unusual techniques" from the woman known as The Kangaroo Dyer® and The Color Whisperer (CraftStylish).
Discover the colorful joys of hand dyeing your own yarn and fleece. It's easy, fun, and can be done right in your own kitchen! Self-taught dyer Gail Callahan shows you a variety of simple techniques to turn plain, outdated, or leftover yarn into vibrant "new" fibers using ovens, crockpots, frying pans, and other standard kitchen equipment. Detailed advice on color theory, self-striping, "grocery store" dyes, and handmade multicolor skeins make successful dyeing a cinch, even for complete beginners.
