5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting combinations used for handpainted yarns, August 12, 2005

This review is from: Knitting With Hand-Dyed Yarns: 20 Stunning Projects (Paperback)

This is an excellent pattern book for the knitter who likes to use handpainted yarns. There are beginner to experienced patterns offered using mostly the Wool in the Woods colorways. The book has great suggestions for blending colors of different handpainted yarns from other companys too. If you dye your own wool and would like to combine it with commercially available handpaints there is a nice discussion by the authors on using the color wheel for choosing compatible yarns.
