I have to admit, I have not actually tried anything from this book. None of the patterns were much my style, and as much as I would love to hand dye, I'm not at a point right now where I have the time or space to commit to it seriously...so, maybe I would like this book more if I had used it more than just read it. It's pretty comprehensive in terms of the dying process, although the author constantly imploring the reader to buy a certain beginner's dying kit was a bit obnoxious. After explaining the general process, the author also describes several different methods of dying, some of which I really enjoyed. Also obnoxious, though, was the detailed instruction before each process to "soak your yarn, mix your dye, blah, blah." While I may just be nit-picky, the unnecessarily repeating details really turned me off. In terms of basic instruction, I found this book as useful as any book on dyeing. Beyond that, I'm glad I checked this book out of the library instead of buying it.
