Sometimes, when looking at threads, I just want to attempt to make a thread wheel out of interesting threads. Say today’s threads – which come from DMC’s Color Variations thread series. I played around with the standard color wheel, and think I’ve come up with an interesting group of threads. Apply some of the various color harmonies to this thread wheel, and some of the combinations are interesting! It’s not about matching the ACTUAL color wheel, but it’s about coming up with some interesting color combinations. Try some of these combinations!

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’!
