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…
Golden shades throughout the Autumnal landscape …
The sort of dried papery gold, from late summer wild peas…
The magical and beautiful golden rays of sunrise in my kitchen…
But mostly…
Golden fur of Emma’s, my favorite shade…
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!
