Pantone Inspired Warp Packs

As you probably know, Pantone releases color trends for different seasons. I loved the two color trends for 2019 so much that I decided to make some warp packs inspired by them!

I really love putting together these warp flight packs, because they allow you to play around with warp colors without being committed to a large amount of warp thread.

If you haven’t heard of my warp flight packs before, they are a pack of four different warp thread colors that are measured to approximately 100 yards each. Which means in total you get approximately 400 yards of warp thread in one pack. To give you an idea of how much 100 yards is…

On my lap loom, I have 8 x 12 inch weaving area, I can warp this loom with each color about 9 times with some leftover thread. So on this loom, I could make 9 weaves with the Peach warp thread, then make 9 weaves with the Clementine orange warp thread, etc. You get the idea. It’s a nice pack that gives some ability to play around and experiment with your weavings, especially if you’ve never used colored warp threads before and you’re not sure how they will look in your weaves.

Now onto these Pantone inspired color packs. The first pack was based on the “Cravings” colors. These reflect foods with very warm color tones. Think colors of red raspberries, eggplants, plums, coffee, chocolates, etc. To reflect these warm food colors I put together a warp pack featuring raspberry red, eggplant purple, coffee brown, and a candy pink.

The second inspiration pack is based on the Pantone “Classico” colors. These colors are elegant and bold. Think emerald green, ivory white, deep black, and soft grey. I love this pack because it is so classic in it’s neutral shades, but with a splash of regal emerald green.
