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 the classic rainbow order, we move from orange on to yellow! Yellow sits between orange and green in the visible spectrum. Sometimes seeming more green -certainly in the case of the overdyed grey base of the Tinde or in the neon tones of the Hedgehog Fibres. At its darker, warmer end, it touches on orange and browns and at its lightest, fades into a buttery creaminess. It’s a warm colour, a colour of optimism. A colour of summer, the colour of sunflowers!

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