There's magic in colour, but creating wonderful colour for spinning and felting is what you might call "" practical"" magic. Start with coloured fibre ? natural or dyed. Add a blending tool (a drum carder is Deb's choice). Mix and play using some simple, basic colour principles ? and there's no limit to the possibilities. With Deb's relaxed, enthusiastic guidance, you'll learn:

And much more.
