Sometimes you find colors in the most unusual places that you want to play with. At least I do! Take this picture of lichen and moss on a tree, as we walked through the forest at Agecroft Hall. This was just a gorgeous tree, and I wanted to see what the color did. It’s a very subtle scheme, but wouldn’t this be a stunner to play around with?

For each of these thread schemes, or palettes, , I’ll include both an image showing how it was built (to the left), and a thread color schemes, with actual thread numbers, that you can print out. Feel free to save these cards, because you never know when you’ll need them.

Keep your eye out for more color schemes coming in the Simply Color series!

Have you learned more about color harmonies that I cover? Take a look into them, and let me know what you think!!! You’ll never run out of thread palettes again!!!

What part of color inspires you?

Happy stitchin’!
