"Your book is beautiful and has so many great and well illustrated ideas, I had a blast reading it!" - Jillian Moreno
I have spent 90% of the the last 10 years focused on raw fleece and undyed processed wool. I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about hand painted fibers. When I sat down with this book I suddenly had a desire to start playing with some of those painted beauties I have been collecting for years and then just admiring on the shelf. - Beth Smith
