Colour spectrum wheel for choosing dyed wool swatches by colour range. Greens Blues Neutrals Pinks & Purples Reds Oranges & Browns Golds & Yellows

All 6 and 8 value swatches are dyed on Dorr wool.

The 8 value swatches are indicated by (8-v) following their name.

Any swatches that are transitional are indicated by (T) after their name.   Some swatches are only for pictorial use and are indicated as such.


Each swatch value will measure approximately 3" x 12"

6-value swatches are $10
8-value swatches are $14

Please be aware that colour variations will exist on two counts:
  • your computer may "see" the colours differently
  • there are always variations per dye lot

For best results, order more than you need;  I would much rather buy back an unopened swatch than try to match one for you 6 months later.

I prefer swatches to be gently mottled, not flat.  I find the results  to be more natural and have more interest than flat swatches do.
