Dyeing to Knit: How to Use--and Create Your Own--beautiful Hand-dyed Yarns
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Hand-dyed yarns are so sensuous, with their custom hues and rich blends of colors, that every knitter longs to work with them. But once we've brought home some of those precious skeins, what next? In Dyeing to Knit, designer and dyer Elaine Eskesen demystifies hand-dyed yarns by providing straightforward how-to information both for using the yarns and dyeing your own, and encouraging you to trust your own creative instincts. Includes instructions for 21 patterns, from scarves to sweaters and hats to mittens.

She moved the business to a historic house in the coastal village of Damariscotta in 1990, and thanks to the Internet, Elaine's extraordinary hand-dyed yarns are available to knitters worldwide. Her writing has appeared in Family Circle Easy Knitting, Knitter's Magazine, Interweave Knits, and the book KnitLit: Sweaters and Their Stories, among others. Pine Tree Yarns was one of the businesses selected for inclusion in the book Knitter's Stash.
