Theo ther thing I like about Knit Picks (all their yarn), is they tell you more about each color, and what it goes best with, if you click on the color. For example, it tells me: Cornflower is a color that falls in between lighter shades of blue and green, similar to a soft turquoise or a robin's egg blue with slightly more green undertones. Cornflower is also a calm and tranquil shade that is sure to add a pop of color without being overpowering.
Knit Picks has a variety of yarn, but my favorite to use is Brava Worsted. It's premium acrylic, and is $1.99 for 100 grams (218 yards). I've mixed this with Hobby Lobby's I love this yarn, and Red Heart Supersaver, and had no problems. It reminds me a bit of Caron Simply Soft, just because it's so soft and sort of shiny, however, it does not pill, and it comes in lots of colors. It also has a nice drape.

I've always loved tigers, and this tiger's eyes are so intense. When I first discovered Knit Picks yarn, one of the first shades I bought was Brindle. It's a lovely orangey copper color, and is perfect for this tiger. The greens were a bit harder to match, but these two greens, along with the black and white should make a lovely tiger-colored project. The morning of my wedding, I went to the church to get ready. The reception was outside. As the florist (my grandma) started putting the flowers out, this monarch landed on top of the cake-topper. It had a strange bulge in it's wing and couldn't fly very well, so we let it stay. It stayed all day and throughout the wedding. It finally flew away as we were taking everything down at the end of the day. This photo was found online from Pantone. I really liked how the grey background contrasted with the colors. The pink, blue, and yellow are triad colors, meaning they are spread evenly around the color wheel. It's accented by soft neutrals to let the colors shine. To get this same fell of this photo, I'd recommend alternating one of the first eight colors with the greys. To get this ombre effect, use the pinks and greys first, followed by blue and grey, then yellow and grey, then tan and grey. This is another classic case of doing the color combo BEFORE finding the photo. I love the bright pop of green against the neutral grays. I used TinEye Labs to find a photo and couldn't pick between the cat and the lovely stones. So I did both!
