Customer Reviews

Great for people who want to dye their own yarns

I wanted to rate this 4 and 1/2 stars. This book is worth buying for the dye instructions alone. The patterns are also very nice, although they are rather theatrical (think Russian dance) and would look better on taller people. She has many motifs that would work well for afghans or knitted bedspreads or smaller projects such as hats or scarves. If you already dye yarn with drink mix, this book could inspire you onward and upward.
