4 Color Options from MATT, our designer

Judy writes: "Dear Matt, I would like to use Noro Kureyon and 2 corresponding colors of Cascade 220. What do you suggest for my color scheme?"

Matt's reply:

Option 1: If you have enough Kureyon, you can use it as the main color throughout with a single solid used as the contrasting color throughout.

Option 2: If you have enough Kureyon, you can use it as the main color throughout, using one solid color as the contrasting color in odd-numbered tiers and the other solid color as the contrasting color throughout.

Option 3: Use a single solid color as the main color throughout and use the Kureyon as the contrasting color throughout (one difference between #1/#2 and #3 is the relative amounts of yarn used, with the MC taking more than the CC; another difference is that the slow color changes of the Kureyon mean the the adjacent modules will have contrasting colors with pronounced module definition with #1/#2 and less with #3).

Option 4: Use one solid color as the MC on odd-numbered tiers and another solid color as the MC on even-numbered tiers, using Kureyon as the CC throughout. This option has the greater module definition of #1 and #2 but uses less Kureyon.



"Thank you Matt. I will use Option 4. I'm using Noro Kureyon Color 165 as my CC, Cascade 220 Color Black in odd tiers, and Cascade 220 Turquoise in even tiers. Size 8 needles. From, Judy
