colour knowledge

This is an interesting book for anyone studying or working with textiles. Whatever discipline you work with, stitch, quilt or mixed media and so on, this book shows you how to control colour. Intelligently written and well-illustrated (though largely in black and white) the book will guide you through the processes of understanding terminology, discovering how colour and fibre work together and finally practical applications. Some interesting effects are revealed, encouraging the fibre artist to experiment. Discover a new world of colour.

Educating!

Having read this book, I know quite a lot more about color, light, their causes and traits, and their physical and psychological effects on people. I'm not really into fiber and weaving, but as a painter, I found the information about color to be highly enlightening!
