Free colour palettes - Stylecraft Special DK

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! Smile

Hi everyone I found this thread vis Pintrest and love all the amazing combos. Probably been asked before but is there a page with pics of all the combinations at all or Zing do you have a blog or website?

Hi D415

All the palettes I made in the summer of 2016 are here.
I haven't got a blog yet.
Do you need any specific help?

I have had problems with not being able to log in on my phone, but have found my tablet and now I can post again!

So if you want any help let me know, anyone else as well of course. ❤💙💚💛💜

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba are you still there?

I've got a Wool Warehouse voucher burning a hole in my pocket and plans to make a blanket for myself. I'd like to use SSDK and definitely want to use Plum and Grey (maybe Graphite too) plus another couple of colours. Can you suggest what these colours might be, please. Grape? Parchment? Something else?

I think I'd like to make this pattern

Woolly, I love that blanket - have you got a link to the pattern please?

Diamante I hope this link works as I had the blanket saved in Pinterest and I've sent it to Safari to make it a copyable link. I think there are further links to actual patterns in Ravelry that you might have to track down but it is gorgeous isn't it?

Zing you're amazing :)

I am planning a blanket for my sister. I am going to use a modified version of your Retro palette (I only need five colours). I'm currently thinking Tomato, Spice, Mustard and Lime. I was going to use Parchment but then I got my colour card out and it's a bit greyish. So I think I'll maybe go for Stone instead. I thought that would be better than Cream as less likely to show marks.

I keep meaning to make some pegs or even just little cardboard labels, as the colour card isn't much use for comparisons!

Anyway, thank you very much :) I've been planning the blanket for ages but it's finally nearing the top of my project list so I promised myself a little colour-planning session and have enjoyed looking through your palettes again. (I decided to make scarves for relatives instead of my ridiculous over-ambitious plan of making blankets for them all. I've been using super chunky so they don't take long to make!)

Actually I'm going to use Cream.

I know this is a fairly old thread but I'm in need of colour help

I'm doing a 4 way ripple blanket for my 6 Year old. She picked the 4 colours of lipstick, magenta, turquoise and bright pink, but I need a couple of complementary colours for the border and I can't figure out what will go. I thought maybe Kelly green and something else?

Does anyone have any suggestions? This seems to be the place for colour combos! Thanks

Hi I want to say thank you for this thread.

Last winter I made Attic24's Hydrangea blanket, it's really lovely.
This year I have adapted it to make another blanket, Bluebell Forest with a couple of spicy colours added.
I would never have come up with such beautiful combinations on my own.
ThanksThanksWineWineThanksThanks

I’m wanting to try Stylecraft for the first time, and I ran across your colour palettes. You have a beautiful eye, and these are so so so helpful in seeing how the yarn colors look next to each other. Thank you so much for sharing!
