This month we have been exploring color, and today I am going to give the easiest color tip that absolutely won’t fail you. This is the simplest way to bring color into your project, and you won’t have to agonize about getting shades right, the yarn should be right there ready for the taking. Any guesses from the photos below?
That’s right! Go to the craft store, pick out a variegated yarn that speaks to you and choose individual colors from that skein. You could go with neons, warm hues, cool hues, warms and cools together, or different shades of the same color. Chances are if they make the variegated yarn they are making individual skeins in the same colors. How simple! Have you ever used this method? How do you normally choose your color combinations?
Next Friday we’ll have a wrap up of all our color tips and tricks. Please let me know if there is any tricks that you use, I will include them in the post and link back to your blog. Hope everyone is living and crocheting their life in color! Happy Crocheting!
I love variegated yarn for my doll clothes. 🙂

I love variegated yarn. All the color with a lot less ends to weave in!

I agree! My only problem with it is sometimes the color changes are too quick or too long, depending on what I am making! But, not weaving in the ends definitely is a plus!

This is actually such a good idea! I don’t work with a lot of variegated yarn unless it has long colour changes because I like to have a bit of control over the colour distribution. But I could totally use it for a pretty colour palette!

My thoughts exactly! I love the look, but I want the color to change where I want it to change! This is the best of both worlds 😊.

This was exactly how I chose the colors for my husband’s blanket. I didn’t use the variegated but found the corresponding colors in the solid skeins.

Isn’t it the easiest idea? Plus you can have control over your color changes. It’s a win-win in my book!
