So I decided to make a helpful and FREE printable to help you prepare for a 2019 temperature blanket project.

My Temperature Blanket with Paint box Simply DK

From

I love the Paintbox range of colours and have collected all 60 colours in the range

I made myself some really useful Popsicle sticks with the yarn wrapped around them. This helps me with my colour referencing.

The paintbox bands only have the colour code and not the colour name which I find a little bit of a pain, and once you take the band off you of course then might forget what that colour was called in the future.

By having these reference sticks I will always know what the colour name and code is.

Its also fun to play around and see how placing different colours next to each other affect the feel and look.
