Felicia Lo, a chemist by trade, has elevated dyeing to the level of science. But, more than that, she is a dye pot artist. Her book "Dyeing to Spin and Knit" is divided into four sections: understanding colour, colour creation, spinning colour, and knitting colour.
There are also ten distinct knitting patterns that use hand-dyed or handspun yarns in different ways to highlight the unique nature of hand-dyed yarns.
Fibre artists will learn how colour works, how to blend and match colours, and how to manage the results when dyeing wool and silk yarns and fibres. Spinners will learn how to reduce vibrant hues and avoid muddiness in handspun. Knitters will learn how to minimize or eliminate the consequences of pooling.Â
Dyeing to Spin and Knit by Felicia Lo includes ten patterns that make the most of hand-dyed and handspun yarns and fibres in knitting projects.
