Color Scheme Yarn Breakdown #3

Welcome to the color scheme yarn breakdown! I'm back today with another fun set of colors for you to use in your upcoming project. These colors are across a few brands of affordable acrylic yarns that are local to the US, and the brand matters - I've found quite a few color names that are the same across brands but end up being totally different colors. That said, that's the whole reason I'm here - to make your project easier! Let's take a look at color set #3!

A set of gradient pastels - a pink, a pinkish purple, a purple, a violet, and a light blue.
Color Scheme #3

This color scheme came from the trending colors on www.coolers.com, an extremely helpful website for this sort of thing. This time we have a nice set of pastels, perfect for pairing with black or white for the fans of pastel goth aesthetic, and also great for baby blankets. These are also a pretty nice gradient, so they could be rotated through for some beautiful granny square quilts. I did some flipping through my color library, and here's what I decided on:

  • Pink - Red Heart with Love "Blush"

  • Light Purple - Big Twist "Soft Purple"

  • Purple - Caron 1 lb "Light Violet"

  • Violet - Red Heart Super Saver "Light Jasmine"

  • Blue - Big Twist "Cornflower Blue"

A crochet granny square worked up in sets of double crochets. The center ring is the recommended light blue, the second ring in the violet, the third in purple, the fourth in the pinkish purple, and the outermost ring in pink.

And now here's the set of yarns worked up together!


When it comes to purchasing these colors, this is a one stop shopping list - they're all able to be found at www.joann.com as of now (august 2023).


To finish off, I'd love to see anything you make with these. Tag me with @Stitchesoffuturepast on Instagram or Tiktok and I'll happily take a look! Also, if you're stuck finding colors for your next project, let me know in the comments and I'll see what I can find for you.


Thank you for reading today, and I hope these colors turn out beautifully in your work!
