Color Inspriation Series

Today I want to start a new series on the blog of what I'm calling "Color Inspiration", I'll be sharing a beautiful picture that you can use to create an entire color palette that you may have not put together otherwise. Today, I have a photo of our namesake, Anacapa Island (source):

I love seeing the different colors of the photo represented as yarns. Nature is doing to color choosing for you, so you get color combos you may never have thought of before.

I hope you enjoy seeing my color inspirations! Stay tuned for more!
