Colour Notes
This will work beautifully with a fade with C1 being the darkest colour and C3 the lightest.
There needs to be a strong contrast between C1 and C3.
I used a 5 colour fade for C2 for my Option A sample and a single colour for C2 for my Option B sample.
C1: The Sky: Best to lean toward a solid/semi solid here
C2: Ocean, sunset sky or landscape: depending on your colour theme. Solid, variegated or speckle will all work well here
C3: The Moon: Speckle yarn is lovely for this, softly variegated or solid are also good options.
