Color Stories

When knitting and crocheting we tend to stick certain color palettes. We’ve defined them as 5 distinct color stories.  These 5 all have a different story to tell, and we will be drilling down into each these to bring you fresh new color combinations based on a variety of inspirations.  Just like in our real world of product design and merchandise collections, we are using these stories as our filter.  We constantly come back to these 5 collections and the thoughts behind them to keep us on track with our patterns and colors.

The 5 color stories are:

Unique

  • Retro collection of reds, yellows and browns
  • Appeals to the ‘funky’ or ‘individualistic’
  • Out there patterns reworked to appeal

Sweet

  • Soft collection of pinks, purples and cream
  • Appeals to the ‘girly girl’
  • Feminine patterns with frills and details

Geo

  • Bold blues, grays and black
  • Appeals to the ‘modern’ or ‘fashion forward’
  • Angular patterns with simple texture or pattern

Fresh

  • Refreshing aquas, greens and browns
  • Appeals to the ‘eco’ or ‘natural’
  • Simple, classic patterns with a trendy quality

Elegant

  • Rich story of purples, grays and black
  • Appeals to the ‘mysterious’ or ‘alternative’
  • Victorian inspired / early 40’s patterns
