ooh, okay! i also haven’t done much tapestry so i’d love to test to try to better my skills. i could use white, light purple, and medium purple acrylic yarn with a 4.5 mm hook!
i wasn’t sure how to describe it so i got this from a website:
“If you haven’t tried tapestry crochet technique yes, you definitely should. You have probably come across lots of wonderful pictures of projects made in tapestry crochet. And they may have looked too advanced or tricky to you. Mainly because of multiple color changes and detailed images. But the truth is tapestry crochet doesn’t differ much from traditional one. It uses ordinary single crochet stitches (US term) but with yarns of several colors used at the same time. So you crochet in usual way but change yarns from time to time to create a colorful pattern. I’ve tried to explain tapestry process with pictures in a photo-tutorial below. And I hope it will be helpful!” - lillabjorncrochet
I think I would do maybe purple, yellow gold, and orange or perhaps a monochromatic setup, like a light yellow to a darker yellow or perhaps earth tones. Have to see which cotton yarn I’ve got lying around to play with, but I’m pretty sure I would use a 3-4mm hook with a worsted yarn.
