This is a comprehensive walk through the process of dyeing your own wool palette. Step-by-step, the directions are clear and accompanied with photos of the process, as well as the outcome. There are charts to help you document your own adventures in dyeing. I know I will refer back to this book again and again. It's a very user-friendly guide and full of beautiful photos of April's own work.
I've begun creating my own palette dyed wool. The techniques are easy to follow, and the possibilities for creating wonderful colors immense. I've written an endorsement on my own blog http://cotton-eyed-jo.blogspot.com/2010/08/knocked-my-socks-off.html, I'm so delighted with the book. If you haven't tried graduated strip dyeing, it might seem overwhelming on a first read. But her clear directions make it easy for you to work your way through the graduated strip process with a formula you love, you'll have that favorite color in 8 intensities. :) April has done all the organizing, and shares generously techniques that took a reluctant dyer(me) to an entirely different place!
