How much yarn do you need for my online workshop?
For all Everlea workshops chouse two or more differing colour groups. If you plan on following only one Everlea workshop choose the 5X25g option for each colour group. For use with more than one workshop (ex. Weave an Everlea Gradient and Colour in Tapestry) choose three colour groups. For the best value and a plenty of yarn for more than a dozen tapestries on Everlea Looms choose the 50g option.
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.
