Many embroidery lovers find that color works differently for stitching but can't pinpoint why. Encouraging and personal, Luminous Threads explains and illustrates color theory specifically for embroiderers.

Explore color theory in stitching to confidently add, build, and transform color in your designs. Instead of simply choosing a floss color you'll learn to use a fascinating toolkit of options, from blending to saturation to shadows, to make your projects beautifully impactful.
    Use see-then-stitch examples to understand color in ways that don't feel overwhelming.
    Ensure your project's colors will match your vision with samplers that move color theory directly--and enjoyably--to your needle.
    The extensive collection of over 300 stitched examples offers long-term reference of how color behaves in stitch, saving thousands of hours of experimentation.
    Features exciting ways to absorb the science of color, such as Diuguid's color studies and interpretations--in threads--of masterworks by Monet, Van Gogh, and other painters.
