In this video, I explore color analysis, color seasons, undertones, and how understanding color completely changed the way I choose yarn, knitwear, and clothes for my handmade wardrobe. We’ll talk about: knitting within your color season warm vs cool undertones soft vs bright colors building a cohesive handmade wardrobe intentional knitting and slow fashion the gold vs silver test choosing wearable yarn colors why some handknits become favorites while others stay unworn For the longest time, I thought the reason I didn’t wear certain handmade garments was the fit or the pattern. But I’ve recently realized that color plays a much bigger role than I ever understood. Especially when you spend dozens of hours knitting a sweater by hand. This video is not just about color theory. It’s also about: intentional living creating fewer but more wearable garments building a wardrobe that truly feels like you and making more thoughtful choices as makers 🌿 Join ✨The Handmade Wardrobe Circle✨: https://www.skool.com/the-handmade-wardrobe-circle If you’ve been wanting to create a wardrobe that feels more intentional, cohesive, and truly aligned with you, I’d love to invite you into my cozy online community, The Handmade Wardrobe Circle. This month inside the community, we’re exploring color: personal color palettes, choosing yarn colors more intentionally, building handmade wardrobes that work together and understanding why certain colors make us feel more like ourselves. But beyond that, it’s also a space for: thoughtful conversations about knitting and creativity monthly quests and gentle inspiration sharing projects, yarn choices, and ideas slowing down and enjoying the process of making and connecting with other knitters and fiber lovers from around the world If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, you’d be very welcome to join us 💕 https://www.skool.com/the-handmade-wardrobe-circle I hope you enjoy!
