You are busy drawing your design, and now it's time to think about the colors of the yarns for your scarf or blanket. You can choose from 21 colors for your design, but with so many fun color combinations, making a choice can be a challenge!
To make the search for the ideal color combination easier, we have compiled our own style guide with color combinations. It's like a library of images of products we have previously knitted for other artists, 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 perhaps find the perfect color combination for your design right away. Another way is to visit a product page on our online store and try out different color combinations there. This way, you can see how different colors work together in the color preview window. After you have found a few combinations you like, look them up in this color guide to see how they would look on a finished product.
When choosing colors for knitting yarns, it is important to know that the color samples and images do not look the same on every screen. The colors in the product images also depend on the lighting of the photos. We always strive for the best representation of each color, but if you find the exact shades important, consider ordering our Color Sample Card. Here you will find all the samples of the knitting yarns. With the yarn samples and our color book at hand, you are fully prepared for your design adventure.

When exploring colors for a new design, it is helpful to consider how and where the final product will be used. Think about the color of your coat with which you will wear your scarf. And if you want to make a throw for the couch in the living room, 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 may 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 is divided into different sections, showing primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. These colors are arranged in a circular pattern. This demonstrates how they mix and contrast with each other.
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 for creating harmonious color combinations for designs. It's like having a palette of colors that work well together.
The color wheel contains pure hues - that is to say, colors without the addition of white, gray, or black. You can adjust any hue from the color wheel by mixing it with white, black, or both. In this way, different shades, tints, and tones are created from the pure hues.
Complementary colors on the color wheel are shades placed opposite each other that enhance each other and create a vibrant contrast.
Analogous colors on the color wheel are shades 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 around the wheel, creating a balanced and vibrant combination.
Monochrome colors on the color wheel are variations of a single color, varying in shades and tones.
Neutral colors are shades that have no distinct color and are created by mixing with white, gray, or black.
