Most people are quite familiar with the beautiful tartans of Scotland. Tartans begin as just two or three banded colors, but the alternating effect of the colors, combined with the variation of the band sizes creates the appearance of many more shades. So too, my "Contemporary Tartan" has been designed using different combination stitches and 10 silken skeins, which, up close, reveal a more complex canvas than one would expect.
This Design comes in three colorways:
 |
| Purple Colorway |
 |
| Mauve Colorway |
With each colorway emphasizing a different aspect of the work, Contemporary Tartan is as much an exploration of color theory as it is a counted stitcher's utopia! Speaking of Utopia....
