Conservation of Color (Spin Off, Spring 2022)

Cover of the latest issue of Spin Off, "Color Quest". Image shows a spindle and a braid of fiber peeking out of a a bargello-style bag.

The new issue of Spin Off is available now which includes my latest article, Conservation of Color. My article clarifies the science behind color in textiles and how dyes attach to fibers. Have you noticed your lovingly handmade textiles fading? I also explain why dyes lose their vibrancy over time and how you can reduce this in your past and future projects.

If you would like to learn how to keep your hand spun yarns colorful check out the Spring issue of Spin Off online here or at your local craft store.
