Free colour palettes - Stylecraft Special DK

[ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba]

Inspired by the Woolly Hugs "Kinship Projects" colour palettes I have decided to create some on my own to share with fellow crocheters & knitters (and anyone else really!)
These are absolutely free to use & I hope you enjoy them as they are or a starting point for your own variations.

Oh and I'd love to see photos of any projects!

Aaah I love this thread! 😍😍 I have such clothes peg envy

I regret starting it in a small hook size, but I know the effort will be worth it in the end

@TinyPawz

I'm working on the palette for you - pls let me know if you still need it

Caterpillar:

54. Frozen:

Elsa: Buttermilk (hair), Duck Egg, Aspen, Turquoise, Empire

Anna: Gold (hair + add White if you wish), Fuchsia Purple, Black
Can't decide between Royal and Lobelia, so both are there for choice

Snow: Twinkle (this is James C Brett, Shade TK2)

This would also be a great addition to Frozen - King Cole Shine dk in Shade 1800 Ocean, varigated shine yarn. Very pretty!

Ah Zing these are brilliant!

I like the new Lapis too.

Just popping in!

Was thinking about a bright rainbow, then remembered you had done all the work for us

Thank you!!

Zing this thread has been my secret guilty pleasure for the last few days... I'm getting to the end of my wool for Candy's squares and just need to deal with a few peskie ends (darning needle has been put somewhere so safe I can't find it). Having just mastered granny squares, I'm keen to try to crochet a blanket for a friend diagnosed with cancer and after further advice from 11 year old DD I'm going to try an Attic 24 cosy stripe blanket in 'Zing's 23' colours. DD has a good eye for colour and she loves the combination - so thank you!

Oops got that wrong - we're ordering Zing's ABC - just as well DD is nosing over my shoulder instead of being in bed!

Hello

I am new to the Knitting section, but have been on MN for 8 years with multiple name-changes.

I have recently learnt to do Fair Isle, and am using this wool currently. It is lovely to work with. I am knitting rainbow colours.

I look forward to getting to know you all better

@Zing

Thank you so much - for some reason I have only just got the notifications for this but they are brilliant, thank you! Now to raid the back of the sofa for some pennies...

Hello all!

Glad this thread is still proving useful - at some point I will add the 6 brand new SSDK colours to my peggy box and post more colour palettes.

I have a few ideas brewing, if anyone needs help in the meantime do post here or PM.

What is rainbow gonna be used for? I'm intrigued! Tell me tell me tell me!😂

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Zing
I always like a 'project' for Autumn and was dithering about the Attic24 Moorland blanket. However, I always thought there was too much sky for the moors and if you don't believe in a huge commitment like a blanket it becomes a chore.
I have now started the blanket in your heather highlands colourway, (adapting accordingly) and added a graphite. Just beautiful
On row four!!!

Yay! I hope you show your progress!

I haven't done enough to show the progression of colours yet but this is my conversion.
1 Cypress = Graphite
2 Lime = Cypress
3 Khaki = Meadow
4 Meadow = Sage
5 Pistachio = Raspberry
6 Mocha = Fuschia purple
7 Walnut = Boysenberry
8 Grape = Plum
etc.

Will it be okay?

I am browsing MN as I can't sleep and found this thread.

It's wonderful, I am amazed at your colour perception, Zing, going to organise my randomly bought yarn and use some of your ideas.
Currently crocheting tiny wool sloths and enjoying creating some far-from-natural looking creatures.

I don't have the Moorland colours in front of me, but tbh any order of those colours will look good in my opinion.
If you are substituting Lucy's colours one by one and then stick to the colour order as per her CAL I think that will look lovely and well-blanced.
(I seem to remember she did each colour equal number of times across the project)

Whenever you ready I really want to see how it works up!

Thank you, very kind!

Do let me know if you want help creating a palette just for you, based on the colours you have or matching them to a photo.
I like a challenge!

@zingdramaqueenofsheba are you still up for colour challenges? I want something between sunset, seaside and mermaid to do the moorland waves blanket - I can't decide on which one and I need enough colours to substitute for the attic24 colours. I have turquoise saffron and empire I'd like to include but open to all ideas (I just have those in my stash). Thank you in anticipation!

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba oops spelling error in first post

I have some Cygnet DK charts I made if anyone else is like me and prefers them to stylecraft? I give you the mega chart "highland"

And a few more

Just nipping in to say a HUGE thank you Zing. You saved my bacon the other day! :)

Having briefly taken leave of my senses I decided to coordinate a joint blanket for a friend in my cancer group who has had some bad news. Then it occurred to me I would need to choose colours, not my forte at all. Anyway, after some wild panicking I remembered this thread. I’ve gone for the six colours from Aster to Wisteria from your Lavender Tea palette :) I think it might need another colour or two to balance it out, but I’ll wait to see once I have some of the completed squares in front of me!

My project list is getting longer and longer. Not helped by all your beautiful palettes inspiring yet more ideas
