Knitting with Hand-Dyed Colour
Learn how to understand colour so you can choose colours and colour combinations for your crafts. Expand from essential colour theory to traditional colour combinations and colour harmonies. Pick up any skein of yarn and have an idea of what you would combine with it and why. Look at a knitting pattern and envision what colours you would use for it and why.
Knitting with hand-dyed colour course, learn how to develop a functional, working understanding of colour so that you can more confidently choose colours and colour combinations for your knitting and other crafts.
Over the years, I found that people really want to enjoy colour but they’re still very intimidated or hesitant to try because they’re worried about making the wrong colour choices. So after you’ve spent hours and hours sifting through project ideas and inspiration and you finally settled down on a pattern that you want to knit, you then become paralyzed about what colors to choose for that design and so what are the things that we might be afraid of?
So my goal for you is that you’re able to use colors and choose colours to express yourself and your identity so that you become even more uniquely you.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Recognize essential colour theory vocabulary, like hue, saturation, value, and temperature.
- Learn what traditional colour combinations and colour harmonies are.
- Expand and morph those colour combinations into different and unique palettes
- Explore how to apply our colour combinations to knitting specifically, but these same considerations can be made for any other craft you are doing, whether it’s weaving or crochet or quilting.
- Gain confidence to pick up any skein of yarn in any colour and have an idea of what you would combine with it and why.
- Be inspired to look at a knitting pattern and envision what colours you would use for it and why.

These spinning and knitting tips and techniques are great to bookmark and quickly reference while working through your fibre arts projects.
For Socktober knitters, Tabetha's @tabismiles new Faux Circular Gauge Swatch tutorial will help you save both some yarn and time (plus help with making sure those new handknit socks fit) when knitting a gauge swatch for your next sock project. Find the video over at our SOS tutorials page!
Do you you love knitting socks and are ready to adjust the fit and feel of your finished project? Perhaps you’re ready to up your game a bit in your next handknit pair? Tabetha will knock your socks off at our new SOS course for knitters Learn to Knit Heel & Toe Variations for Top Down Socks taught by Tabetha Hedrick @tabismiles!
In this workshop you’ll learn how to knit four heel flap variations and four toe variations, going over the construction techniques for each one. You will find thorough instructions on how to incorporate the heel into your own sock stitch count in the course workbook, and it’ll have a bit of math (very little) so you can plug in your own stitch counts for a perfectly custom fit.
Learn more at the new Knit Heel & Toe Variation course now live at the School. Direct link is over in our bio »
