What is a good way to match yarn colours to give a cohesive combination for crochet hats?
Sometimes you have to learn to think in color, other times there are two good, reasonably easy, ways to do this. Easiest is to take the yarn colors you are considering using together, pull out the ends and twist them to that they barberpole around each other. If they’ll work well together you’ll like the way the combination works. Other ways are to use either a through the door viewer (peephole) where you screw the barrel together and look through the end of it to get a distance perspective of the colors you’re considering to see if any of them *jumps* out at you. If a color does, take it out and try another color in the combination; a variation of this is to use a piece of red cellophane (3 D glasses can work for this) and look through it at the yarns, again, anything that doesn’t fit the gray scale of the tones will jump out at you. And, yes, learning to think in color helps. I had to when I learned to dye. Every secondary color (those made up of two primary colors) has a complement,
