51: Picking Colours – Experience Beats Talent

Picking colours can feel intimidating – especially for a project like the Eternity Shawl with seven colours constantly interacting in different combinations.

In this Stranded Thought, Anne shares why picking colours is less about talent and more about experience. She reflects on testing combinations, why colours behave differently in colourwork, and how even experienced knitters rely on swatching and experimenting to find what works.

This episode is a gentle reminder that colour confidence is built over time – and that ripping back is simply part of the process.
