Yarn Spinning with a Modern Twist - How to create your own gorgeous yarns using a drop spindle

Spinners will discover the fundamentals of color theory—how to combine and harmonize shades, and how to control the outcomes when dyeing wool and silk yarns and fibers. They will also learn how to tone down bold, intense colorways or avoid muddiness in their handspun yarns. Knitters, in turn, will gain the knowledge to prevent—or intentionally enhance—the effects of color pooling.

The book also features 10 knitting patterns specifically designed to showcase the beauty of hand-dyed and handspun yarns.

Accompanied by stunning photographs taken in Felicia’s own dye studio, Dyeing to Spin and Knit offers a true masterclass in preparing hand-dyed yarns and fibers.

Felicia Lo is truly passionate about color and fiber arts. In Dyeing to Spin and Knit, Felicia—founder and creative director of SweetGeorgia Yarns, and a sought-after teacher and speaker—provides clear and approachable guidance for creating gorgeous hand-dyed yarns and spinning fibers, while also explaining how dyeing affects both handspun and mill-spun yarns for knitting.
