By Bobbie Iriwn. Iridescence is the appearance of color change depending on how the light hits the fabric. Where the fabric curves, pleats, or twists, the fabric can appear to be an unexpected color. It's delightful when it happens by accident, but you don't have to leave it to chance. Bobbie explains how to weave iridescent fabrics, from making good yarn choices to picking the right structure, and makes this magical-looking effect a very approachable one. Almost every page is illustrated with amazing, inspirational textiles. The majority of the text covers color theory, the effect of the yarn fiber and construction, and how weave structure effects the perception of color. Bobbie gives instructions for several projects and the book includes a chapter on garment design with iridescent fabrics.
