Handpainted: A Guide to Working with Unique Yarn

Description

Some of the most popular yarn available today, handpaints/hand-dyes have unique properties that can make working with them frustrating or even disappointing. After explaining the special traits of hand-dyed yarns, this book will provide 20-30 beautiful patterns that enhance the color variations and techniques for using them to their best advantage. The patterns will be written for widely-available hand-dyed yarns so that readers can get the same results, but readers will learn to identify patterns for their unique yarns.
