Colours for a jumper

3 replies

Melroses · 07/02/2021 23:14

I want to knit a jumper.

I have an early 70s ski sweater style pattern with a roll neck and Fair Isle yoke in a diamond pattern in a contrasting colour.

I have narrowed the yarn down to www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/yarn/rowan-felted-tweed-dk-maritime-167-50g for reasons of cost /fit to pattern/ itchiness

I have been trying to decide what colours to use for weeks and really can't make my mind up. Any ideas?

I started off looking at greens with purple patterning. So,

Celadon/Iolite
Electric green/Iris
Lime/Astor

Then started look at grey & yellow which I don't really like.

Latest plan is

Aluminium/ Peach
Maritime/Peach

I really like Fijord but can't make it go with anything.

I like the Fjord with lime green and turquoise.

I thought it was easier if you used the 'sort by colour' button.

I hadn't thought of darker colour like turquoise.

Looking at the pattern I could probably get 2 or 3 colours into the Fair Isle so Fjord/Watery/Tuquoise with a lime highlight would be a doable.
