The Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook
The Twisted Sisters are a group of women in Oregon who delight  in making one-of-a-kind hand-spun, dyed, and knitted socks from  scratch. This book about how they do it is chock-full of color  photos of gorgeous socks you'll never see for sale at your local  Wal-Mart. The author, an accomplished hand spinner and knitter,  assumes that the reader already knows how to knit and spin and  wants to go to the next level of sock-making creativity by  dyeing or hand painting hand-spun yarn to make signature socks.  Included are guidelines for dyeing yarn or roving using hot and  cold pour dyeing, spot dyeing, and dyeing with Kool-Aid, as well  as suggestions for spinning the yarn to maximize the effects of  dyeing and, finally, methods of designing and knitting  perfectly-fitting socks. For its selected audience, this is the  best nontechnical resource to take you through the processes of  dyeing, spinning, and designing socks. Highly recommended for  public libraries where demand warrants.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
