I've had several inquiries about how I come up with color schemes when dyeing yarn.
The answer is...I look around!
Really, I notice color as I'm taking a walk, looking out the window, or browsing social media. I notice how colors blend, complement, and accentuate each other. I even notice the contrast in color and how they play off of one another to change the way they appear.
The majority of the time, I take a simple walk outside. This is a single afternoon's walk near my home in Maine. Here is what I see - the examples I use when coming up with new colorways.
I usually snap a photo with my phone, and if I don't know the name of the plant/flower, I also use the "Picture this" free plant identifying app. I take this walk at least twice a week and each trip brings something new! These colors change with the seasons.
If you look through my Etsy Shop, you will see some lovely colors matching or even surpassing these beautiful photos!
I know the colors will look fantastic together because Mother Nature knows what she is doing and she is rarely wrong!
