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 Self-taught dyer Gail Callahan shows you a variety of simple techniques to turn plain, outdated, or leftover yarn into vibrant “new” fibers using ovens, crockpots, frying pans, and other standard kitchen equipment.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

Dyeing yarn and fleece expands the textile artist’s toolbox of techniques. This excellent volume explains studio dyeing and safety, how to test fibers to dye, how to use different kinds of dyes, and working with color. Seventeen different dyeing techniques provide an array of exciting ways to create color on yarn or fiber. Nine knitting projects are also included.
