Glorious Gradients: SPIN - DYE - CROCHET - KNIT

Gradient fibre and yarns look so good, but it is often difficult to know how to use them to their best advantage. This book aims to give you the tools to create wonderful items from bought gradients, as well as instructions on how to dye your own in your kitchen without specialist equipment.

Of special interest to hand-spinners, and knitters with a large stash, are the Any Yarn patterns. These are based on inches not stitch numbers, so the same patterns can be used with different thicknesses of yarn.
