Master spinner/dyer/knitter Jeannine Bakriges worked for years to compile this beautiful and informative book which includes extensive technical information on spinning, notes on natural and solar dyeing, and a tutorial on how to set up a your own dye studio. Plus, included are classic knitting patterns by Elizabeth Zimmermann and Meg Swansen, such as: Sock-Toe Scarf, Halter Top, I-cord Gloves and Hat, Knit-Stitch Pullover, Very Warm Hat, 3-Cornered German Shawl, and Circular Brioche Watch Cap, to name just a few. From fleece to knitted garment, Spinning Around is an incredible journey and a wonderful read. Softcover.

Spinning Around: Spinning, Dyeing & Knitting Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Classics
$29.95
Newly updated, we have brought this labor of love into the 21st century. When EZ, Meg Swansen, and Chris Swansen first produced this book, they had no desktop publishing and full-color was not a practical option. In addition to full-color throughout, improvements include: better charts, more garments, more sizing, editors’ comments and clarifications within the text, edited instructions, and clearer organization. Plus, Meg has added notes to preface each chapter. Also, we improved the quality of the archival images, plus added new photographs, drawings, and paintings throughout, as well as expanding the gallery of Elizabeth Zimmermann’s art. Mindful of the original concept and text of Elizabeth’s book, our approach to the project has been to add value and interest, while preserving the archival aspects. We are proud of the lovely result!
