Sadly, it is now out of print. I was so fortunate to find a few new copies of this highly sought-after book but when it’s gone, I won’t be able to get more. The author writes knowledgably and clearly about the handling and dyeing of beautiful wool. The dye recipes are easy to follow and each formula is paired with great suggestions for base wools. Each formula also gives variations for four shade gradations. There are more than 150 formulas, using Cushing’s Acid Dyes and ProChem Acid Dyes, with many variations and suggestions for uses, through instructions, room for your own notes and space to attach your own swatches of dyed wool. There is an especially good chapter about color theory and a great section on common sense dyeing and tools. I've have used this as a resource for years. In fact, one of my most popular colors, Mood Indigo, is a variation I developed from one of the formulas in this dye book. Beautiful Wool is a must-have for every wool dyer's library.   Our Price:  $32.95   Approximate Shipping Time: In Stock Sorry Item Sold Out!
