This is a dye exercise that allows you to create over 120 dyes using just 3 colours. The 3 prime colours of dye are used - Cyan(Green/Blue), Magenta (Hot Pink) and Yellow. In this project, start with 3 large dyepots of dye. For each dye skein you will add a bit of colour from the other dyepot, to change the shade of colour slightly.

Dyepot 1 - Magenta to Cyan
Dyepot 2 - Cyan to Yellow
Dyepot 3 - Yellow to Magenta

The colours will move progressively through the colour chart, changing from one prime colour, until the ending prime colour is reached.

The first time that I did this exercise, I wove all the dye samples into a rya rug.
