what color/s would go w/...

[eyrthmother1]

I recently received a bag of scrap yarn. In it was some beautiful kelly green skeins. They had been partially used, small amnts. so not 100% sure how much is in each and want to figuire out colors to go w/ the green to stretch it out for an afghan. I know white is a fairly good choice, but what else would go w/ it fairly well??

 

TIA

You could use white and red with it and make a Christmas ghan.

Or you could use a pretty shade of yellow.

I didn't want it as a theme ghan, but the yellow might would work. I'll look in my stash to see what I have in yellow to go w/ it.. thank you so much

What about a gold colour or even a nice blue for a guy...

I like yellow myself.

 

Also consider yellow and and a lighter shade of green. If you find a lighter shade of green that's good with it, you might want to mute the yellow to a corn yellow or baby yellow shade.

I think black, blue, or another shade (or two) of green.

I like a dark purple with green sometimes, especially in a checked pattern.

Go with red, gold, brown.

I know you don't want a theme afghan, but that green would look good with autumn colors. You could even use different shades of green with it.

I would use a cornmeal color with it and you could even put in a little dark brown or a cream color. I think that would make a pretty ripple.

I had a not quite kelly green pile of yarn given me from my Project Linus chapter to use that also included a tan skein and a variegated red/green/brown yarn. I made a striped blanket that turned out quite nice, autumn-like and manly, so I second the brown/tan/whatever shade works best in the brown family suggestion.

The primary colors such as blue, red, yellow, purple, orange and make a rainbow/ crayon ghan.

 

You could use a variegated yarn that has that shade or some green close to it.

 

You could use red and white and make a christmas ghan.

 

Yellow and black and make a john deere ghan.

 

Primary blue with white.

 

Black and green

 

White and green

 

Tan and green

So many wonderful suggestions. Thank you all for giving me color ideas. As for the pattern, I was thinking of doing the hexagon pattern that was used over in the show n tell section, afghans by a woman to give to her co-worker.

 

I chose that pattern because i sorta like the looks of the star-ghans, or round ghans, but I also like straight sides over the points (I'm warped, i know, lol).

 

There's a color that I like in redheart called "medium purple", how do you think that would look w/ the green and white?:think

Oooh, this sounds pretty, too!

Have you tried using an online generator to see which colours go well together? something like this one http://www.kissyourshadow.com/stripe_maker.php

I'm sure there are others out there too

[eyrthmother1]

Thank you starr, I've seen them before but never thought to try it w/ this. (slaps forehead w/ a "duh") I will have to try that.
