๐ New Premium Tool + Celebrating Our Level 4 Makers!
If you've ever held two balls of yarn together and thought "๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ถ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ?" โ only to knit a whole swatch and find out they don't โ this one's for you.
I've built a ๐๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ tool, and it's launching today as a ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐๐บ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น ๐ฐ+ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐
If you've reached Reading the Rows or beyond, this one's unlocked for you โ and honestly, reaching Level 4 is no small thing, so consider this a little thank you for sticking with it and growing your skills with us - โญ โญ โญ
Here's how it works. You pick your two yarn colours using the colour wheels, tweak the sliders to match the depth and tone of your actual yarn, and the tool gives you three scores:
๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ โ how much the colours stand apart from each other visually
๐จ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ โ whether the hues sit well together on the colour wheel
โซ ๐ง๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฒ โ arguably the most important one for colour work
That last one is the thing most knitters don't think about until it's too late. Two colours can look completely different in the ball but almost identical once they're knitted up โ because they're the same ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ต๐ฉ. The tool includes a greyscale preview for exactly this reason, so you can see what your pattern will look like to the eye before you commit.
๐ช It's not magic โ nothing replaces swatching โ but it gives you a really useful starting point, especially when you're choosing from a yarn stash and can't lay everything out side by side.
Not at Level 4 yet? No problem at all โ you'll find it waiting for you when you get there, and in the meantime keep liking and joining the conversation, that's exactly what gets you there.
I'd love to know how you get on with it. Drop a comment below โ have you ever been caught out by two colours that looked great together but didn't knit up the way you expected? ๐
