Welcome!

My suggestion would be to use the Stitchboard Basic Palette when making a graph for crochet. The Stitchboard Full Palette is unfortunately much too broad and has way too many colors to be easily matched up to yarn. The basic palette won't make your image look as nice as the full palette; however, if you can't find those specific colors of yarn, anyway, it's not very useful. This is why we created the Stitchboard Basic Palette, keeping in mind that yarn companies don't carry many, many shades of a color.

Hope that helps!

Donnajay,

Welcome!

The basic palette option is available in 5a. It should default to it if you're choosing crochet.
