INTRODUCING COLOUR

The colour palette from my last project was strong and successful, but I felt it could have been pushed more. Looking on the catwalk for inspiration  Marc Jacobs Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear successfully ombre dyed textured pieces in his collection, contrasted on layered knit.

These designs add subtle but dramatic colour on texture using the ombre method. This is something which i would like to achieve in my samples and designs as i have dark colours, and using a few bold colours will help my design to be visually striking.

Before dying my samples I had a few worries as my yarn is very textured, and naturally felts, however I was pleased with the results as the colour was bold, although the wool had slightly felted.

I have decided to stay with dark tones infusing bold colours, as they balance each other.
