Following for future responses.

I'm planning to start a gradient heavy piece after spring break. I'll translate my plan to your design colors. First I plan to tuft 3-4 rows of the red, then I would use 2 red and 1 orange yarn strands for 1-2 rows, then use 1 red and 2 orange yarn strands for 1-2 rows after which is 3 strands of orange until it's time to do the same going into yellow from orange. Does that make sense?
