How Do You Combine Different Colors Of Yarn?
Working with the colors of yarn that are specified in your crochet or knitting patterns is a good way to begin learning how to work with yarns and colors. As you become more experienced, think about branching out and using colors that are different from those listed in your patterns. You need to become comfortable using color and developing attractive and memorable color combinations. By working with what you have, you can begin to learn about combining colors, tones and shades. Place all of your skeins of yarn before you so you see the variety of colors you have available. Group yarns of similar colors together. Look at a color wheel and notice how the primary colors–red, yellow and blue–are all equally distant from one another. On a 12-color wheel, you see three combinations of colors in between the primary colors. Combine yarns from the same color family together. This is a monochromatic color scheme. Pick up a salmon skein of yarn and an orange skein. Salmon is analogous to yello
