How should I arrange eleven colors of wool for the warp of a double-width blanket? By “intuition?” Why not pull yarn snippets out of a hat in a random sequence? I do have resources on color theory I could consult. Best yet, I like the idea of viewing snapshots to compare various arrangements. This is play!
You could make any arrangement work since the colors will be blended from one to the next across the warp. The color that makes the biggest difference, however, is the weft color. Just now, as I write this, I realize that I forgot to purchase yarn for weft. Oops! How did I miss that?
Grace and truth give us a fresh start. Grace gives me choices, and makes something beautiful, even if I get colors in the “wrong” order. Truth kindly shows me what I am missing, and what I need. Grace and truth are brought into our lives through Jesus Christ, and become a framework for life’s fabric. Grace brings forgiveness. And truth brings freedom to begin.
Of the four arrangements of yarn colors pictured, which one do you prefer? I would love to hear what you think. Leave your “vote” for option 1, 2, 3, or 4 (back to front) in the comments.
May your mistakes be met with grace and truth.
Yours Truly,

I vote for three!!
My choice is 1, but we all know whatever you do will be beautiful.
I vote for #1. Can’t wait to see your finished product!
I vote for 1, but any of them will be lovely.
#3……totally.
I think 1 is beautiful!
I’ll say #3 with #1 very close behind.
Interesting comments. I choose #2 as I think it shows more continuity and strength. #1 was my least favorite! Of course I have no idea of the weft, but if the warp colors are mixed up as in the other choices you could end up with a flecked appearance. But, maybe that is your goal!
I love seeing all of your votes! Thanks so much for chiming in, everybody! You are certainly giving me some things to think about.
