Making a wool blend of ‘Very Peri’ - Pantone’s colour of the year for 2022 using CMYK values

Here’s how I made an approximation of Pantone’s colour of the year for 2022 - Very Peri. In combing wool, it will usually be an approximation as there will always be a small amount of waste from disposing of the shortest fibres. It’s rare for all of the colours to have consistent fibre lengths. This uses 42% cyan, 36% magenta and 22% white. I use the % of CMYK and the brightness value for white to work out the approximate amounts of cyan, magenta, yellow, black and white. Here I’m using the mini wool combs that I made and I’ve written a tutorial on how to make them here - Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 00:14 showing the Cyan, Magenta and White that make up the Veri Peri blend 00:55 Loading the mini wool combs 1:24 combing the fiber 5:36 Drafting the fiber 6:35 Finished fibre blend
