Brighten you world with our colour issue! Issue 4 covers colour theory, with hints and tips for creating your own handpainted yarn, and ideas for using the myriad options available in shops; a Q & A with Lucy Neatby; your ticket to the mad hatters ball that is the Alice Springs Beanie Festival. We also look at why you shouldn’t always pay the price for cheap yarn and, as always, there’s a palette of patterns for pretty knitting and colourful crochet, with a full complement of reviews, too.
