This workshop will explore spinning in color for a desired final  effect in a project. Participants will explore the use of complementary  colors and color gradients. Participants will practice three different  techniques for combining colors in order to create an intentional,  desired effect. Techniques will be used to create yarn needed for a  finished project.
