Here at Knit with attitude colour is one of the most debated topics. So instead of doing a fibre or brand feature, I thought I would do little colour ones instead. So this post bypasses projects and specific yarn weights and lets us just love colour. Hopefully if you have a favourite colour in mind, or just looking for that right shade, this will give you some inspiration. Did you know you can search our website by colour as well?

Continuing with classic rainbow order we move on to orange! Orange can range from deep rusty browns to bright neon oranges. Orange can seem more yellow at times and more red in others and there seems a fine line between them both. Orange is the colour of food: oranges, carrots, saffron, its a warming colour, the colour of fire!

So here we have them, my pick of the oranges. For more details of each brand look below. Or if you would like to search out your own orange, follow this link to the orange section of our website: ORANGE.
