PLY - The Hue Issue, #48 Spring 2025
Volume 13 - Issue 1
 
The Hue issue takes you on a journey from natural colors of sheep breeds and the genetics explaining how we get various colors to looking at some of the first colors humans dyed cloth to choosing and blending and dyeing all the colors on fiber and yarn. Do you want to know the difference between dyeing the fiber and then spinning or spinning first and dyeing the yarn? What about dyeing as an intermediate stage of a spinning project? We can show you! Not sure what colors to pick for your next stranded knitting project? We've got suggestions--plus a project for you to make once you've made your color choices. Have some fiber in your stash that you don't love the color of? How about some ideas of how you can spin or blend that fiber with other colors to get something you like (and save that fiber from languishing in your stash)? With two more projects and a lot more articles, this issue will have you doing a deep dive into your color decisions.
