[lace] Brainstorming about color
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. .

Re: [lace] brainstorming about color
I think a light-ish yellow or light-ish green, a somewhat lighter version of crocus leaves. Not too intense yellow or green, so the background doesn't overwhelm the lace, but not so light either that it blends with the paler part of the periwinkle. I think either yellow or green would make it look very floral. Are you planning to do a piece of lace with a floral design? The periwinkle is very pretty!

Re: [lace] brainstorming about color
The Sulky blendables are very nice threads for lacemaking. It produces quite soft, matte lace. Periwinkles would look nice on cream, for a subtle contrast or yellows/ oranges if you really want to make it stand out!
