How To Add Color To Your Crochet!!!

How To Add Color To Your Crochet!!!

With so many choices of wonderful yarns and colors,,, How do you possibly choose a color theme for your project??  Today I have a few tips to help you out!!

One of the easiest ways I choose colors is by heading to the yarn store and just browsing.  Once I find the type of yarn I want for my project I start lining the different colors up in my shopping cart.  Mixing and matching, changing the order of the skeins until I get something I like!!

Another fun idea is to find a picture of something you find visually pleasing…  Then you can match colors up from the picture to inspire your next project!!

A very artistic way is to use a color wheel or a website that automatically shows you color combinations… I  have been using one online… Paletton!!  Hop over  and play with it for a bit… They have lots of ways to make great color  choices.  Then you just find the yarn in the same tones and you are set!!

I hope this is helpful and you will have some fun next time your are choosing your yarn!!

 

Happy Crocheting!!
