If choosing speckled or variegated yarns, I recommend using them for EITHER the MC or the CCs, using a solid or semi-solid for the other. Be sure there is little overlap in speckled\/variegated colors between the MC and each CC. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eArrange your mini-skeins C1-C7 so they have a flow to them that you love, but I recommend that you follow these guidelines:\u003cbr\u003e1. C7 should be a color you love. It does not have to be your favorite of the colors, but it will be a focal point of the wrap.\u003cbr\u003e2. C3 and C6 should have good contrast with the MC. These colors will be used for mosaic knitting.\u003cbr\u003eHere are some suggestions for ordering your minis:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eROYGBIV\u003c\/strong\u003e: arrange your minis in a rainbow formation. This works best when working with yarns of all different hues. The sample uses this formation in reverse. Once completed the eye will be drawn to C7, so make sure it is a color you love!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGradient Tone:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is perfect for gradient sets, working from light to dark or vice versa. I would suggest using the darkest color for C7, but this is a personal preference. You can also arrange ANY combination of colors by gradient tones.\u003cbr\u003eTo do this, take a photo of your yarns using a black\/white filter. Arrange them from lightest to darkest based on their black\/white tones. This will create a gradient effect no matter what the hues may be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRandom: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhile everyone who knows my designs knows I love rainbows and gradients, this may not be your style! As long as you have good contrast between the MC and each CC, the results will be spectacular and eye-catching. Arrange the minis in whatever order makes YOU smile!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paper Daisy Creation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47405366542488,"sku":"LKRGVP","price":18.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/0758\/7480\/files\/IMG_4540_medium2_849df144-0689-4ba5-9136-18223a4165f0.webp?v=1762570900","url":"https:\/\/www.salamancawoolshop.com\/products\/garden-variety","provider":"Salamanca Wool Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
