8 Insanely Awesome Colourways Inspired by Nature

Creating Colour Palettes

Colour is everywhere! What better source of inspiration than the world around us. As part of my Joining Lines in Nature research I have sourced some of the most incredible images of nature which I aim to use as inspiration for colour and texture.  You can view my Nature Pinterest board here.

From each image I have picked out some of my favourite tones to create a set eight colour palettes which will guide my yarn choices and pattern designs throughout the project.

What colours can you see?

What other colours can you see in the images? Would you have chosen different colours to create a palette instead? Is there anything missing? Colour is viewed so differently from person to person and how those colours react next to each other creates optical effects which are magical. 

If you are joining in my Joining Lines in Nature project, please use these palettes to inspire your makes.

Beautiful colourways that you have matched perfectly. Very hard to compete with Mother Nature but you have managed.i love them all especially palettes 1,2 & 7. Can’t wait to see what you plan to do.

Thanks Joy, they were so much fun to create. Palette 1 is my absolute fave (as can be expected) but I do agree Palette 7 is stunning. I'm not normally a fan of purple but this combination is beautiful.
