Synopsis

Using clearly illustrated examples, this book sets out tools for selecting colours, choosing shades that enhance embroidery, and understanding why certain shades blend more effectively than others. It also explains the role of contrast, including the relationship between light and shadow, and offers guidance on building colour combinations and working with complementary colours.

Projects are provided across each colour group, with subjects including roses, camellias, fruit and bee-eater birds. More than 200 stitched examples are supported by DMC thread keys, alongside schemes designed to help you choose colours for your own work. While based on long and short stitch shading, the principles are presented as applicable to any surface or counted thread embroidery.
