Colour Compass

Are you ready for the Colour Compass creative challenge?

You open the lid to discover a chromatic box of delights: 24 balls of Milarrochy Tweed, each a different colour. There are luminous, jewel-like tones. Muted neutrals. Gelato pastels. Spicy pops and icy backdrops. So many blues and greens. How do you begin to put these different shades together? What will you knit with this box of beautiful shades and hues? Specifically designed to help you develop your own palette, and then to make colourful projects that are completely unique to you, this book shows you how to consider colour creatively before you begin to knit with it. With sections exploring everything from the thorny problem of dealing with ends, to how you might combine your love of yarn with a practice of everyday noticing, the approaches to colour suggested here are both achievable and practical. Once you have settled on a palette, you can knit yourself a colourful garment a (cardigan or pullover) and choose from several smaller projects—cowl, shawl, mitts, cushion—to really make the most of your box of yarn. With illustrated samples in several different colourways, and instructive field notes and findings from our talented test knitters, these designs allow you to freely explore the chromatic potential of stripes and zigzags, triangles and hexagons, marling and openwork. Which colourful direction will you choose?
