This ’8os inspired trend is tempered with the stark contrast of warm neutrals, making neon approachable for all style tastes. This is a trend that we can get behind… and perhaps get a bit carried away with! Neutral yarns are easy enough to get your hands on, but luckily this trend is finding it’s way into the fiber art community and it’s easier than ever to get your hands on neon yarns.
1) ACID : 100% merino wool / Manos Maxima
2) NEON ROSE : 100% superwash merino wool / Madeline Tosh via Purl Soho
3) EDISON BULB : 100% superwash merino wool / Madeline Tosh via Purl Soho
4) NEON ORANGE : 100% cotton / Yarn Market
When searching for the perfect neon yarns we came across this great home decor crochet project from The Purl Bee. This “Elegant Granny Blanket” shows how neon can add just a touch of elegant whimsy to any project. This is a must craft before winter!!
I just cruised through your blog – all of it!
(found you whilst stumbling)
I love what you have done here.
I adore the vintage patterns LOL! (and yes – as a child of the 70′s I have often looked back and wondered what we were thinking…so much great design mixed in with so much – uh – really scary shit.)
I hope you keep posting – I have enjoyed reading very much.
Thanks,
M.L.
Thanks much for your kind words! We have been hit or miss on our posting consistency as of late but when something really catches our eye (or we actually come up with a decent pattern) we are all over it! Cheers!
