Color Interaction

When I was planning the design for my Cubicle Socks Trio pattern, I envisioned a project where you could experiment with color interaction. Rather than knitting a pair of identical, 3-color socks, the pattern allows you to try three different arrangements to explore how placement impacts your perception of the colors.

I turned to my friend Heather from Ewe Ewe Yarns for potential color suggestions. With a background in graphic design, Heather has a deep understanding of the principles of color theory and it shows in her curated palette of yarn colors. They all just work together. Heather recommended the Iris Blossom, Brushed Silver and Saffron combination that I used to knit the pattern.

After stitching up my samples, I could easily see the difference in color interaction for each arrangement, but I never had the words to explain it. Then I saw Heather's short video about color interaction.

Which colors will you choose?
