So yesterday I was monkeying around with a new skein of yarn, trying various backgrounds and techniques in order to capture the spirit of the yarn in its best light. Grey is far outside of the scope of my jewel tone comfort zone so I’m finding it a bit difficult. A basic white background washes it out, the rustic wooden tabletops that I love so much do it no justice…what colors go well with grey?
Another technique I tried was taking photos of the yarn on top of a mirror. Though it didn’t quite give me the results I was looking for, I was happy with what unfolded nonetheless:
What I really like here is the spontaneous color combinations and the extra detail that the mirror shows on the yarn. I know it’s not “the money shot” for selling the skein, but with a bit more editing I will most likely choose it for my portfolio.

Except the yellow of the truck brings out the teal in the yarn in a really interesting way
yep–it's a bit overexposed and in need of some color adjustment and cropping.
Brilliant! Love your assistants
