How to Buy, Knit and Care for Indie Dyed Yarns Sara Millis

This is a guide to hand dyed yarn and helps knitters who want to understand how dye techniques might knit up. Today as knitters we are bombarded with a wealth of choice in yarns, thanks to the internet. This increase in choice has made it far easier to find yarns designed and created by independent artists, known as 'indie dyers'. Indie dyed yarns are often more expensive per skein and therefore a more considered purchase. With this in mind I wanted to help demystify some of the techniques and pattern choices available and give you tips on buying and selecting the perfect yarn for your project. You will never be afraid to try something hand dyed again!This book is aimed at the layman and is not a dyeing book, so you don't need to have years of experience working with yarn. Instead this book will help you source new yarns perfect for that special project you have in mind.
