Color in Spinning

Every fiber artist needs this book, learning to use color has been a hard journey for me. This book helped a lot and gave me so much color inspiration!If you struggle with color this will help and there is some really fun lessons with colored batts and spinning techniques. A great chapter on dying and formulas to get the same colors when dying.Highly recommend to all spinners beginner to advanced!

The best book I've seen that deals with blending your fibers for color. Deb sticks to this specific subject throughout the book. I have been working with colors and fibers forever, but when I ventured into spinning last year I realized that applying what I know about color theory to fiber blending is a departure from my previous experience.I am really glad that I was able to purchase a drum carder (I love the Brother deluxe. Great value, quality from real people) but if you have hand cards these techniques will work just fine. I use mine for samples. I dye my own fibers too, and Deb's input has helped me to be more focused about how much of my favorite colors to dye, and how to achieve saturation.Tones, tints, shades, heathers and more. This book lives on my must-have shelf. Deb also has some online classes through Interweave Press which are excellent companions to her books.I also recommend "Colorworks" by Deb Menz, for many types of fiber artists and painters.

The book condition was listed as very good, and it was almost like new. The book has lots of color illustrations and covers the subject from dyeing through blending fibers to get desired colors. It will be a good resource for study.

Thus book is an excellent text in dyeing, carding, spinning the yarn you want. The author takes you through the process of choosing and then executing the yarn you need for your project. An excellent resource for all yarn makers out there. There many color photos and explanations of how to work with the fibers.

As a spinner and natural dyer I found this book informative and can see it becoming a real 'go to' when mixing colours either on the carder or during the spin

Coming from a formal art background, I really appreciate this book. Not only does it cover the basics of dyeing and carding/combing well, but it also provides lessons in color (beyond the basic color wheel) where you directly see the results of mixing and using different color combinations. There are samples of finished knitted pieces using similarly-colored yarn yet with slightly different properties. Readers are encouraged to use the exercises for future self-directed study. Great cataloguing ideas are offered.I highly recommend this book!

very comprehensive, useful info.

I have been wanting my own hardback copy of this book since checking it out of the library a couple of times. I was happy to find this in hardback on Amazon with a seller that had one in like new condition. I am super thrilled to have my own now and it looks like new.

Une référence pour celui ou celle qui veut jouer avec les couleurs au filage ( et faire des colorations):la théorie des couleurs est bien expliquée et approfondie spécifiquement pour le filage. De nombreuses photos sont dispocomparé au Dyeing to Spin&Knit: Techniques & Tips to make custom hand-dyed yarn de F. Lo, il est plus détaillé et complet.... mais plus cher puisque out of print!

This book was recommended to me by a fellow spinner and I am very pleased with it. I'm sure it will become a much used reference book.

Color In Spinning" ist ein umfassendes und ausführliches Buch über das Wollhandwerk vom Scheren der Wolle bis zum Endprodukt. Mir ersetzt es teuere Kurse und mühsame Wege zum Kursort, denn Alles, was ich jemals fragen oder lernen wollte, kann ich einfach nachlesen, wunderbare Fotos oder Zeichnungen ansehen und jederzeit lernen.

Excellent book.A keeper .Came fast
