Although the craft category is growing, the shelf is not, so as we continue to expand the TYV and craft lines, we need ensure that our books are meeting the specific needs of today8217;s craft book buyers (still dominated by knitters). During the DIY boom of the last several years, many crafters have progressed quite a bit in their skills and are looking for 8220;what8217;s next8221; rather than the same tired projects and patterns they8217;ve seen a thousand times before. Teach Yourself VISUALLY Hand-Dyeing will focus on dyeing yarn with everything from Kool-Aid and icing dye to commercial acid dyes to walnuts and onion skins. Major online yarn retailers sell ready-to-dye yarns in a variety of thicknesses; people who spin their own yarn also dye their yarns after spinning them from natural fibers. You can dye yarns solid colors, make multicolored yarns, and even make yarns that create stripes as you knit them (such as for socks). The photo-intensive, step-by-step format and concealed wiro binding will make this a perfect primer for those wanting to try something new and take 8220;handmade8221; to the next level.
