There are color theory resources online & https://www.canva.com is one or check your local library. Get a general idea ahead of time, make up the lace, then audition your completed piece in a fabric or craft store. JoAnn’s, Michael’s & Hobby Lobby have reasonable selections. Even if you don’t purchase fabric from them, you can utilize their bolts for color combos. The length of the variegation determines the overall value of the piece so selecting your foundation fabric from the spool appearance may prove inaccurate. The type of lace you are making will also be a factor in your results because of the thread paths. Is it mostly cloth stitch, half stitch or cloth & twist? Our guild has experienced this when teaching Girl Scouts with variegated threads. We never know what results to expect! Hope this helps & best wishes with your project. Will look for it on Flickr. <g>. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
