OTHER IDEAS FOR CHANGING COLORS TO SUIT YOUR STYLE OR TASTE
FROM TAHKI YARNS “BOOK SMART” Tweed Collection, 3rd Edition
“DUBLINERS” COAT (Pattern #4)
in DONEGAL TWEED
The original version on the left shows
shades of green offset by a rich cream
(color #s 839, 859, 894 and 848).
For a different look, like the blue swatch
on the right, you can select a lightcolored neutral (we chose a light grey
#884) and 3 shades of blue (#840, 862
and 844) to give your coat an entirely
different look.
“EMMA” SCARF (Pattern
#11) in TWEEDY ALPACA
The original design on the left
has 2 neutral shades (#001 &
011) and a denim blue (#014)
for contrast.
The example on the right
shows a look with less
contrast, in colors #005, 006
& 010.
High contrast or low – it’s up
to you!
“GOLDEN AGE” PULLOVER
(Pattern #5) in NEW TWEED
Whether your coloration is Winter,
Spring, Summer or Fall, there’s a color
combination that’s just right for you.
At left: two shades of grey (#060 & 061)
are enlivened by celery green (#062).
At right, top to bottom:
#061 dk. grey, #065 denim, #046 dk. red;
#046 dk. red, #044 black, #055 fuchsia;
#063 salmon, #049 robin’s egg, #057
