You are busy drawing your design and now it is time to think about the colors of the knitting yarns for your scarf or blanket. You can choose from 21 colors for your design, but with so many fun color combinations, the choice can be a challenge!
To make the search for the ideal color combination easy, we have created our own color combination style guide. It is like a library of images of products that we have previously knitted for other artists, just like you. Here you can see how different color combinations look on our knitted products. We will regularly update the style guide with new images of designs that our customers kindly share.
Quickly browse through the images to find the perfect color combination for your design. Another way is to visit a product page on our online store and try out different color combinations. This way you can see how different colors work together in the color preview window. Once you find a few combinations you like, look them up in this color guide to see how they would look on a finished product.
When choosing colours for knitting yarns, it is important to know that the colour swatches and images will not look the same on every screen. The colours in the product images will also depend on the lighting of the photos. We always strive for the best representation of each colour, but if you care about the exact shades, consider ordering our Colour Swatch Card. This contains all the swatches of the knitting yarns. With the yarn swatches and our colour book at hand, you are all set to start your design adventure.
Discover our beautiful colours of cotton knitting yarns and choose the perfect shades for your next Relooped creation!
When exploring colors for a new design, it’s helpful to consider how and where the finished product will be used. Think about the color of your coat that you’ll wear your scarf with. And if you’re creating a throw for your living room couch, consider the colors in the living room.
But ultimately, color is a matter of your own taste and feeling. There is no right or wrong. In this color library, you might find interesting color combinations that you have never thought of, but that you will love at first sight. So let yourself be inspired during your design journey!
The color wheel is like a visual map of colors that helps us understand their relationships and interactions. It was first created in 1666 by the one and only Sir Isaac Newton.
The color wheel introduces us to concepts such as complementary colors, analogous colors, triadic colors, and monochromatic colors, all of which are essential when choosing the right colors for your design. This tool is a guide to creating harmonious color combinations for designs. It’s like having a palette of colors that work well together.
Complementary colors on the color wheel are opposite hues that enhance each other and create a vibrant contrast.
Analogous colors on the color wheel are hues that are next to each other and often work well together, creating a harmonious and cohesive color palette.
Triadic colors on the color wheel are colors that are evenly distributed across the wheel, creating a balanced and vibrant combination.
