I have been playing with colour gradients more and more in my weaving projects and I wanted to add a post on the material I use to achieve them.

I recently posted on a belt I am currently weaving, where I use 6 shades of yellow/orange. I don’t like making any publicity, but I still want to mention that I get them from Weavers bazaar in the UK.

Here are the threads and the belt, side by side. I used red and brown as motif/design colour to add contrast. Threading below.

The belt below is also using a blue colour gradient. The photo of the treads are in a different light (or overexposed), but it is the ones I used to get this effect.
