The Story Behind the Picture

We are lucky to live across the road from a country park. One Autumn, when my children were home from University, we decided to take a quick walk in the park. It was a beautifully clear evening, even if it was quite chilly. We climbed the nearest hill to get a good vantage point and could see right across the local villages. It was the perfect end to the weekend.

I chose to clip the palette to simply pick up the sunset and ignore the sky. The following yarn combinations gave a great graduation of colour.

Colour Palette

Yellow / Orange / Brown

The colour palette, with hex and RGB codes, has been provided for reference. This has also been matched to the nearest tones in a few of my favourite yarns: Stylecraft Special DK, Paintbox DK, Caron Simply Soft and Red Heart Super Saver.

Please note that the yarn colours shown are an approximation of the true shades. It is impossible to find the specific colour codes for yarn, as it tends to be a subtle mix of colour. The suggested colour palettes, therefore, use the picture for inspiration and are just for fun. They may just give you some ideas on colour combinations, but please go to your local yarn shop and check out the true colours before purchasing. As with all technical things, the colours may vary according to your screen settings.
