Yarn Color Combo Inspiration: Rooster
I get a lot of compliments on color combos that I use for my projects (thank you!!) and I love picking them, so I thought it would be fun to share some color combo inspiration! If you like seeing this sort of thing, maybe I’ll try to do it on a regular basis, so let me know what you think! :)
I was at a petting zoo the other day and saw a rooster whose colors I thought were super pretty so that was my inspiration for this! Not only did I want to choose similar colors though, I also looked for a yarn that could match the shininess! So for this I choose Cascade Ultra Prima.
The colors are: Paprika, Tumeric, Gold, Teal, and Navy. I also thought about including Armada and Shamrock but thought that just the five above looked best together.
If you want to buy this yarn, I found it in a few places online: Purl Soho, Jimmy Beans Wool, and Yarn.com.
Would you use this color combo? What would you make with it?

LOVE your inspiration with the rooster
wow, what a great idea. I’m inspired by the idea of finding color combo ideas in natures perfection. It seems that I never get it quite right on my own. Thanks for sharing and i’d love more inspiration like this.
So I have to say I love your blog and all of your patterns . Since seeing your blog for the first time 2weeks ago I have made two slouchy hats and am working on a granny square blanket using this color combo . I had all the colors already :) . Keep the great posts comming and I’ll be sure to post my finished blanket .
