4.0 out of 5 stars A detailed book of shading 45 different blooms., June 28, 1999

By A Customer

This book not only gives details in shading for 45 different flowers, it also delves into the basics of hooking and the how-to's of several dye methods. The author lists over a dozen formulas with a transitional formula for each one, which is very interesting. On the whole, I found this book very helpful and full of good information.
