Unbraided – The Art and Science of Spinning Colour

We are so excited for the launch of our very first book! Here’s a little excerpt from the introduction in the book, which gives you a general idea of where the book started.

“We are so excited that you are joining us! We wanted to take a brief moment and introduce you to our inspiration for the book and give you a little idea of what we have planned for you in the pages that follow.

The idea for this book started when Rachel and Catrina (Reading) were having a conversation about colours and hand-painted fibre and how great it would be if there were a reference type book, similar to a ‘learning atlas’ for how to spin colour. Both Catrina and Rachel have careers in the field of science, but for those not in the know, think of a series of microscope slides printed one after the other in a column with a simple explanation of what one is seeing in the slide, that is essentially what a learning atlas is. Rachel then reached out to Katrina (Stewart), who happens to be a professional photographer and an enthusiastic handspinner, about collaborating to bring this book to fruition. And so the journey began.”
