Custom Color Blending
Take your projects to the professional level by learning how to transition between colors seamlessly.
The "Fusion" Method
To change colors mid-project without bulky knots, use the Overlap Weave. When you have 3 inches of your first color remaining, introduce the new strand by laying it alongside the old one for three full stitches before cutting the original.
Expert Tip:
Remember to use 3mm cords for both colors to ensure the "Fusion" point doesn't create a bump in the texture.
Creating Ombré Effects
Choose three shades of the same color family (e.g., Light Blue, Royal Blue, Navy). By rotating the "Fusion" method across different strands at staggered intervals, you create a gradient effect that flows down the length of the boondoggle.
The Checkerboard Swap
For high-contrast 3D structures, swap your "Loop" cords and "Weave" cords every five rows. This creates a block-color pattern often seen in our Project Gallery.
