G is for Gertie
Description
✨ Meet Gertie
Gertie is an orange that pulls from earthy hues of brick and rust.
🎨 What Is the Lovelace Cycle?
She’s a collection of 20 semi-solid hues that flow together in a rich, harmonious color wheel. Each color is designed to fade or blend beautifully with the ones next to it—so you can create color changes with minimal friction.
- Colors progress in a circle = there’s always a next color
- Works for fades, colorwork, stripes, or all on their own
- All 20 colors share a common dusky undertone = harmony built in
- Color letters (A–T) help you place each skein in the circle
- You control how the colors move through your project
