@tcn33 Not for knitting yarn. There are definitely tools for doing it with stranded cotton and tapestry wool, which are used for embroidery. It’s because those are standardised, but knitting yarn colours tend to change more frequently with fashion.
@tcn33 It’s also difficult to eyeball knitting yarn on computer. Your best bet is to take a printed colour sample into a yarn store and manually look. You can also ask to go through any sample books, which often have little knitted swatches in them.
Time for some glorious fairisle knitting! https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/ve37jbM7ct
@randomknits JESUS. I just opened Tweetdeck and it looked like you’d been flayed.
@tcn33 Well, even if they could, a given yarn range might have, what, 3-4 different reds (or blues or greens, etc) at most? Even with the embroidery threads, it’s never an *exact* match. Only way to get it exact is to dye it yourself. 🙂
@tcn33 That would be an interesting service for some dyer to offer, actually…. Maybe you could commission one of them to do it?
@tcn33 Now that you’ve got me curious… the most used wool on Ravelry is Cascade 2020, which comes in around 190 colours: https://t.co/AGLLzPokEv. That’s the biggest range I’ve seen, and certainly more than any Aussie producer.
@tcn33 I can’t find anyone who’s mapped them to hex or Pantone colours though….
There’s nothing like telling the livestream over and over for an hour to pay attention and check each row for errors (TDD!) only to discover that you got distracted and made an error on the previous row and have to spend 30 minutes tinking and reknitting. 😐

@goldfishgeorge It’s very pretty though!!
Watching Independence Day auf Deutsch, for the first time in forever, and just realised that one of the crashed alien spaceships lands right on Sydney’s Eastern suburbs. “And nothing of value was lost,” snarks the Snook. 😂 https://t.co/2ioX0iRvqu
I saw the 2005 BBC “Bleak House” adaptation on a list of “If you liked Bridgerton we recommend this…” but I’m halfway through and there’s been no nudity and no doing it. It’s just Wedge Antilles pining, Tywin Lannister being evil, and Johnny Vegas spontaneously combusting. 🤨
@Baba_Lilith Well, I actually am enjoying it, but it really doesn’t have anything in common with Bridgerton other than being a period costume piece.
