Color swatches
Discover our beautiful colours of cotton yarn and choose the perfect shades for your next Relooped creation!
You're busy drawing your design, and now it's time to think about the colours of the knitting yarns for your scarf or throw blanket. You can choose from 21 colours for your design, but with so many lovely colour combinations, making a choice can be a challenge!
To make finding the ideal colour combination easy, we've put together our own style guide featuring colour combinations. It's like a library of images of products we've knitted for other artists like you. Here, you can see what different colour combinations look like on our knitted products. We'll regularly update the style guide with new images of designs that our customers kindly share.
Quickly browse through the images to find the perfect colour combination for your design right away. Another option is to visit a product page in our online store and try out different colour combinations there. This lets you see how different colours work together in the colour preview window. Once you’ve found a few combinations you like, look them up in this colour guide to see how they would look on a finished product.
When choosing colours for knitting yarns, it is important to know that colour swatches and images may not look the same on every screen. The colours in the product images also depend on the lighting in the photographs. We always strive to represent each colour as accurately as possible, but if the exact shades are important to you, consider ordering our Colour Swatch Card. It contains samples of all the knitting yarns. With the yarn samples and our colour book at hand, you’ll be fully prepared for your design adventure.

When exploring colours for a new design, it is useful to consider how and where the finished product will be used. Think about the colour of the coat you will wear with your scarf. And if, for example, you want to make a throw blanket for the sofa in the living room, consider the colours in the room.
But ultimately, colour is a matter of your own taste and feeling. There is no right or wrong. In this colour library, you may find interesting colour combinations you have never thought of before but will love at first sight. So let yourself be inspired throughout your design journey!
The colour wheel is like a visual map of colours that helps us understand their relationships and interactions. It was first created in 1666 by the one and only Sir Isaac Newton.
The colour wheel is divided into different sections, showing primary, secondary, and tertiary colours. These colours are arranged in a circular pattern, demonstrating how they blend and contrast with one another.
The colour wheel introduces us to concepts such as complementary colours, analogous colours, triadic colours and monochromatic colours, all of which are essential when choosing the right colours for your design. This tool is a guide to creating harmonious colour combinations for designs. It’s like having a palette of colours that work well together.
The colour wheel contains pure hues—that is, colours without any addition of white, grey, or black. You can adjust any hue on the colour wheel by mixing it with white, black, or both. This creates different tints, shades, and tones from the pure hues.
Complementary colours on the colour wheel are opposite hues that enhance each other and create a vibrant contrast.
Analogous colours on the colour wheel are shades that lie next to each other and often work well together, creating a harmonious and cohesive colour palette.
Triadic colours on the colour wheel are colours that are evenly distributed around the wheel, creating a balanced and vibrant combination.
Monochrome colours in the colour wheel are variations of a single colour, ranging in shades and tones.
Neutral colours are shades that do not have a distinct colour and are created by mixing with white, grey or black.
