How long are the colors? No single color is longer than 30 yards, and few are terribly short. Each Magic Ball has an average of 4-6 color changes. You will want to aim to select a project that uses as much as the skein as possible, so that you will see the full spectrum of colors.

Do I want colours of similar hues, or do I want to mix them up? What about keeping the background colour constant throughout? I do know that I’d like to combine modern patterns with the traditional ones, and I’d quite like each design to have some sort of symbolic meaning, even if I’m the only one who knows about it.
