I didn't think Kathleen Taylor's book was available yet http://www.interweave.com/spin/books/Yarns_to_Dye_For.asp

I was waiting for it to be available! But if it is out now I need it now!

For those who've bought it................
Is the Kathleen Taylor book good?

[Ruth]

I've read the first couple of chapters and I'd say it is good. She explains her methods very clearly - I'm only a novice at dyeing and I can understand everything she says so far :)

At the same time I bought 'The Dyers Companion' by Dagmar Klos, published by interweave, which I think is an excellent all round dyeing guide. All about dyeing methods and colour mixing etc.

I read a review for Yarns to Dye for before it was released. I think Knitty might have it? (but I can't remember for sure). They said it was great for self patterning yarn techniques, but not a beginners dyeing book if I recall....

I've been wanting that Interweave guied to dyeing - it's newly released this year, as well.

Just another thought....that review might also be in one of the last two issues I have of Interweave Knits.....
