Are you a crafter who plans every inch of their textile project down to the last stitch, choosing the right yarn, finding the right pattern, laying it all out? This very special manual will certainly educate you in the realm of color choice. The layout is just about the best I have seen for a book about the color wheel and color harmonies. Throughout there is a basic photographic grid of the same nine swatches: yarn wrap, fair-isle knit, fabric strips, several types of embroidery, a solid beadwork tapestry, some dye work, and a patchwork. This grid illuminates every section of the manual, whether it is on color families, value, or complex color wheel harmonies. The interplay of color and neutrals, harmony and advanced color theory, are very succinctly explained. Then to help the crafter work their available material into a solid scheme, their are color wheels, hue cards, and abunch of tools to employ the theory from the book.
