The Alchemy of Color Knitting
GINA WILDE
The ultimate reference for knitters who are eager to bring richer, more complex color to their projects, including vital lessons on color theory as well as 25 inspiring garments.
In The Alchemy of Color Knitting, Gina Wilde, creative director of Alchemy Yarns of Transformation, unlocks the secrets of color theory for knitters. An acclaimed teacher on the topic of color and transformation, Gina is uniquely able to shed light on color theory as it applies to knitting - her knowledge is both authoritative and informed by an artist's eye.
The Alchemy of Color Knitting begins with a concise, complete description of the fundamentals of color theory, outlining the basics of the color wheel and color relationships. Knitters can easily brush up on the essence of color theory - which colors are primary, secondary, and tertiary, for example - and the relationships among those colors. From complements and split complements to elegant arrangements of analogous hues, all color relationships are explained from a knitter's point of view. Additionally, the central concepts of hue, value, and intensity are discussed - the subtle (and often not-so-subtle) shifts of color that can be used in a knitted garment to gorgeous effect.
