Thoughts on selecting the best color combinations:
Depending on which project you are planning to make, you
may need contrast between the beads and thread. Other designs look better
with "coordinated" combinations. Even if you are looking for a "coordinated"
combination, for the nicest results there should be at least a little
difference between the bead and thread colors. If the colors are too
similar, the beads will be "lost" amongst the knitting. The varigated
threads are best used with bead 212 "crystal" This bead allows the beauty of
the thread to show through. Other transparent beads could look nice also.
All our threads can be viewed here
and all of our beads here.
