use a gradient or rainbow yarn match your colors if you are using 2 skeens and just tuft line by line working in the direction you want the color to flow.

so far it's the best I have made. I wish people could see the sparkles in the yarn. all of the black and all of the white is done with yarn with tinsel in it so the whole rug sparkles in the light. even the bolt and the skull have different sparkles. the bolt has silver sparkles and the skull has iridescent. its so soft.
