Lavender Lace: Stunning Complementary Lavender Palette Kit

lavender-lace

Last year, I introduced my original Colour Complements design called Autumn Fire, and the enthusiasm from the needlework community has been truly heartwarming! While that initial design celebrated those rich, cozy, warm tones, I’ve been eagerly working on expanding the collection with two additional palettes that showcase completely different colour stories.

Today, I’m delighted to unveil the second variation – Lavender Lace. This design features a complementary lavender palette that brings together the soothing beauty of purple and lavender with carefully chosen accents of green and yellow, creating the perfect composition.

What colours are in this complementary lavender palette?

Before we delve into the stitching details, I’d like to share my thought process behind this complementary lavender palette. There’s something magical about how purple and lavender work alongside their complementary colours. The addition of green creates that perfect natural contrast – think of lavender fields with their silvery-green foliage, or how purple flowers pop against fresh spring leaves. The touches of yellow add just the right amount of warmth to prevent the palette from feeling too cool, creating a balance that feels both sophisticated and welcoming.

This complementary lavender palette offers such versatility in the finished piece. The combination of these colours is particularly fascinating to stitch. As you work through the pattern, you’ll notice how the green accents make the lavender tones appear more vibrant, while the subtle golden highlights add depth and prevent any flatness in the purple areas. It’s an excellent example of how complementary colours can enhance each other rather than compete.

Stitched on 18-count mono canvas, this delicate pattern maintains the same approachable 2 ½-inch diameter that has made this series so popular. The compact size makes it perfect for testing out this complementary lavender palette without committing to a large project, and it’s ideal for gift-giving to fellow stitchers or anyone who appreciates anything handcrafted.

We’ve finished this as an ornament, perfect for seasonal decorating or as a thoughtful handmade gift. The elegant colour combination works beautifully year-round – it’s not tied to any particular season, which gives you flexibility in how and when you display your finished work.

If you choose to add additional borders to increase the size, this complementary lavender palette scales beautifully. The colours have enough richness and variation to carry a larger design, and you might consider adding some of the deeper purple tones in border work to create an even more dramatic frame.

The Lavender Lace kit comes complete with the downloadable PDF pattern, sent directly to your inbox upon purchase, along with four carefully selected size 5 Perle cotton threads in those gorgeous colour combinations. I spent considerable time selecting these specific shades to ensure they work harmoniously together while still maintaining the distinct character of each colour.
