Chroma - Set of Three Patterns

Chroma was designed by Christine Novotny for lovers of color and chroma-phobes alike. Through three playful projects, you will learn some basic tenets of color theory to guide in color exploration, look at drafts to determine whether a weave blends or separates colors, and learn tips for winding stripes and using colors in proportion.

The bundle includes three pdf patterns, each with a letter from Christine that provides tutorials and weaving advice to guide you.

This collection of patterns was originally published as an installment of our Weave Quarterly subscription box series.

Christine, I love looking at this picture and your choice of color combinations. I am drawn to color more than pattern. But I like your color with pattern combinations.
I especially like your pillow pattern. I had been looking for a draft like this. However, I ended up using a Davison. A Handweaver's Pattern Book grouped warp threads pattern, Six-Fold Basket Weave, pg.48, #9. I wanted some of the warp to show through and use several colors for a set of towels.
I'm going to play with different variations. I like the graduated (Fibonacci) stripes in the rug pattern and might use that in the weft with the basket weave.
I like to weave things that look more difficult than they are. I'm not a fast, rhythmic weaver, but kind of design as I go, almost playing.
So, thank you for these inspiring patterns and weavings. Weave on!!!!
