The Create Color Gradient panel sets up a graded series of colors which can be placed in the palette, or in the palette and in either warp or weft color bars.
Find this panel as the menu item Create Gradient in the Colors menu.
To create a color gradient, first select the start and end colors, by dragging from the Fiberworks Color Palette and dropping at each end of the gradient.
Next set the number of unique colors. Unless you are a skilful dyer, don't go overboard on number of colors, because you will have to find these colors on your yarn shelf.
If the gradient is to be placed in warp or weft color bars, set the number of threads to span.
If the number of threads is more than four times the number of colors, you may choose blended transitions. This interleaves colors at the transition, make the steps between colors appear less abrupt.
