Description
Crafters can explore colors with confidence in a variety of mediums with the advice in this book. The principles of color theory are clearly and simply explained and applied to knitting, spinning, weaving, surface design (including stenciling and rubber stamping), hand and machine embroidery, beadwork, and paper collage. Basic color concepts are presented in sections on color description, values, contrasting and complementary colors, warm and cool colors, undertones, and using color relationships. A pull-out color wheel and handy color chips in perforated format that are easy to remove and use for planning, matching, and shopping for supplies are included.

LibraryThing member kneek
This is a terrific reference and primer on color theory. The author uses samples from various fiber arts to illustrate variations in hue and value. A must have for any fiber artist.
LibraryThing member amandrake
One of the few books on color theory that focuses on fiber arts rather than painting. Really understandable, especially with the great illustrations of how color combinations work in different media (beading, knitting, weaving, etc.)
If you have the least interest in designing in the fiber arts, you
