Wool dye recipe colors for Dyeing by the Numbers
There is a chart on page 57 of the book that will help you to put a name to each of the colors so you can find the recipe in the book. I am missing 4 images from the grid below. Once I figure out which ones, I label the rest. In the meantime you can use this color wheel. Click on the image for a larger version.

What others are saying:

I just want to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed your book, “Dyeing by the Numbers”, and to thank you again for the swatches. I’ve discovered a passion for dyeing largely because of you, and have even formed a company (Shear Heaven Woolens) because my hand-dyed wool is selling! Thank you so much, and I hope to meet you one day.
