A classic guide for handspinners-now in paperback

or would like to learn how, this book is essential.
Written expressly for fiber crafters seeking new
adventures in color, author Deb Menz draws on 20 years of
experience teaching and experimenting with color techniques
to offer a technically savvy yet accessible tutorial on
working with color and fiber. This comprehensive manual
presents in-depth discussions and step-by-step photographed
demonstrations of immersion dyeing, painting rovings,
blending colors and fibers, and spinning and plying multi-colored
preparations. With more than 300 illustrations, Color in
Spinning is a source of inspiration for the novice and expert alike.
Deb Menz is an accomplished artist, teacher, and author. Since writing

using color in several craft mediums. She lives in Middleton, WI.
