Using contrasting elements in a weaving project can create something unexpected, whether it's contrasting colors, textures, or even concepts.
Contrast is all about using elements of your woven project against each other to create something striking.

Color
Colors can be used for contrast whether it's contrasting complimentary colors like this wall hanging, or neutral versus colors. To learn more about contrasting colors look for information on color wheels.
