A blissful golden sun-glow in the wild & wide open fields of late summer is signature to California, known as the Golden State.
I love when a storm is brewing and there is the quivering sort of gold from the vines…

So naturally, I would create my own woolly golden too.
A kind of gold that brings together a color-saturated neutral with natural white, amber & gold.
This colorway sings of the mountain in June thru October ~~ it is my “Golden”.
And here is how I made it …
♣ ♣ ♣
Techy stuff for Golden…
- Began with Primary & Secondary Neutral recipe using approx 2.5g each of light shades of green, purple, and orange OR light shades of blue, red, and yellow, (see Blending For Tweed Simplified) , lift batt, set aside.
Layer 15g natural white with 5g each of amber and mustard, lift batt.
- Layer color-saturated neutral batt again.
- draw off rolags.
- Colorway blend: ” Golden ” .
- See ALL color blending experiments & recipes archived in Tweed Chronicles

Did you hear something? Was that me? Was that a sigh or a gasp? Images and memories, sensory contentment. Is this the Magical Mineral Tour? I loved the grey, but now I’m torn. Ooh…I know. Can you show Fog and Golden together? Or maybe give us a trunk show of all the Tweed Chronicle Creations …so far. You are having fun, lI’ll warrant. : > )
Ms Tadpole, oh yes, they are meant, created, to be paired together, and after I have finished my palette (maybe never, eh?) I will begin some colorwork of 2 or more together in … of course… a Jenjoyce Original. Such a patterns will be one hundred percent compatible with commercial sport-dk-worsted weights too. xx
You are at play. This is good. Golden good.
These colors are so rich yet subtle. They all seem to work well together. I see colorwork
The colorwork is yet on the golden horizon. 🙂 xx
I missed this post. I’m pleased WordPress display a link to the previous post. The golden yarn is stunning Jen ❤ Another favourite!
