A New Spin On Color

This essential guide transforms color theory from abstract concept into practical mastery for fiber artists working with handspun yarns. Wilcox demystifies the relationship between dyed rovings and finished yarns by presenting the same dyed fiber worked up through more than twenty distinct spinning techniques. Each method includes clear instructions paired with visual examples showing both the resulting skein and knitted swatch, creating an unprecedented visual reference library for spinners. The systematic approach makes complex color interactions immediately comprehensible, whether you're blending fibers or planning color sequences for specific projects.

What sets this resource apart is its commitment to showing rather than just telling—you witness exactly how different drafting methods, ply structures, and fiber preparations translate into final knitted fabric. Both beginners seeking foundational color confidence and experienced spinners looking to expand their palette will find immediate application for these techniques in their own work. The direct correlation between spinning decisions and visual outcomes provides the missing link many fiber artists have sought between theory and practice, ultimately empowering spinners to predict and achieve their desired color results with precision.
