[Nfb-krafters-korner] Yarn Colors and other stuff you're"dyeing" to know

[jill]

Cathy,
That sounds wonderful!  I used to be able to see color, but as of the last
15 years or so, I am not able to distinguish color.  I can somedays
distinguish light and dark.  My color recognition is very gray and dingy.  I
would appreciate a chart to refer to very much!

Jill

hi Sarah and all,

I am looking forward to this class.

Meanwhile, it has reminded me of a project I took on a number of years ago.
I had decided that I wanted to understand about colors, what their names
were, what colors would look good together and to be able to communicate
with sighted folks when purchasing clothing or yarn or whatever. I still
have the notes from that research. I thought there might be some interest in
this and if so, I would be happy to teach a class and share what I know. I
bet others can also share things they have learned about colors as well.
this might be a nice class for email, so we can all save the information for
future use. I know for example, that even though I just read my color chart,
I already have forgotten what the color citron looks like. how nice to have
a file I can refer back to. How nice to know what colors might look nice if
I wanted to make a blanket including the color citron.  How nice to be able
to go to the store and or talk to some one when ordering by phone and know
what I'm talking about. 
Would anyone be interested in this?  
Cathy
