I've been working on The Wool Palette

Today I sent in my book, The Wool Palette, to be published. Once I get the proofs and approve them, I will post on availability. I am really happy with the way it turned out. I was able to get it printed in full color in paperback, 8 1/2" by 11". So there are over 90 full color illustrations, photos (including my rugs), and sample chips of all the dyes.

The book is a complete guide to Palette Dyeing. I go step-by-step through the Palette Dyeing process, from creating your primary three colors, to mixing them to make the twelve colors on the color wheel. Then I detail how to create the 55 extended colors by blending the twelve in various combinations. I also provide directions for creating textures, mottled wool, and black to match your palette. The instructions assume no prior knowledge of dyeing. Anyone can do it. It is really easy and exciting!
