The colours I chose offer a variety of values (lights, mediums and darks) - exactly what you need for success in colourwork. They are stunning in person.

How much yarn do you need for my online workshop?
For all Everlea workshops choose two or more differing colour groups. This will give you more than enough yardage for 10+ tapestries on my looms and plenty of colour and value options.
How to choose which groupings:
For the best colourwork results, choose two or more groups which are very different from each other - from there, there are no bad choices. There are four main hues: Blues, purples, greens, and reds. Choose from different hues to get the most variety and colour success (ie green+red, red+blue, red+purple, green+purple etc). Avoid getting two from the same hue. Follow your gut when it comes to preference, but don't be afraid to try something different.
This gradient is the 'purples, magenta and blue' gradient woven in the last picture, which is paired with the 'greens+yellow' gradient.
