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 Self-taught dyer Gail Callahan shows you a variety of simple techniques to turn plain, outdated, or leftover yarn into vibrant “new” fibers using ovens, crockpots, frying pans, and other standard kitchen equipment.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.

      Starred review from August 1, 2010

      Callahan, who owns a successful hand-dyed yarn business, lets novices in on the tricks of the trade in this friendly introduction to dyeing your own fiber. Beginning dyers can gain confidence by dyeing fiber with simple kitchen equipment and no-hassle dyes such as powdered drink mixes, then move on to more sophisticated techniques and supplies. Rather than taking the usual fiber type/color theory/dyeing directions approach, Callahan jumps right into the dyeing and saves the descriptions of different fibers and color theory for later in the book--an approach that adds to the "you can do this!" feel.
