Hook a monochromatic rug! While it might sound simple to hook with only a handful of different colors of wool, it is not. In fact, it is a challenge. Donna's realistic monochromatic rugs are enhanced by her masterful use of shades, tints, tones, and values. Limited colored rugs these days, thanks largely to Donna and her exquisite eye, are so much more than sepia and shades of brown. Donna tackles this challenging genre of rug hooking and explains her methods and techniques in this eye-opening book.
