HANDS ON DYEING by Betsy Blumenthal & Kathryn Kreider **NEW** 1988 Vintage Book

H
ANDS ON DYEING
by Betsy Blumenthal & Kathryn Kreider
This book is an excellent semi-technical reference on dyeing fiber and yarn. Less of a technique book and more of a process manual, it covers everything a novice dyer needs to know to become proficient in quality, reproducible dyeing results.
It is also a wonderful core reference for professional textile artists.
The authors give just enough technical information to shore up the knowledge of the dyer without overwhelming them. They match it with quality basic skills from safety and dye mixing process to types of dye and finishing techniques and from this platform almost any advanced method can be employed.
One area of note about this text is the dye measuring method - though it is technical it is the EASIEST, lowest-tech process for creating good, reproducible results. The authors have a good system for standard volume measurements instead of weight - so only a normal teaspoon measuring set and some pyrex measuring cups are needed - not a fancy balance scale or electronic gram scale. This allows home dyers to be reasonably accurate without a huge outlay of money or complicated dye concentration measurements to be learned.
This is a **NEW** copy
of the 111
page classic book. It has never been read or used.
It is in excellent condition.
