Marsala: Yarns for “color of the year”, 2015
We carry many, many yarn colors. Picking colors is one of our favorite pastimes, even if we do feel overwhelmed at times. That’s why it’s fun to have a starting point, and can be fun to listen to experts. Some love, and some love to make fun of, Pantone’s color of the year. This year, we’re not making fun of the trendy color to be: Marsala!
We think that Marsala is an unusually nice choice: It can be earthy, rich, soothing, and equally welcoming to women and men. Inspired by delicious Marsala wine (yes, we want to go to Sicily!), Marsala is remarkable in how nicely it plays with other colors…
What would you knit, weave, crochet with Marsala colored yarn? Ready to find yarns that give that Marsala-y-feeling? Behold: our find yarns by color tool to the rescue. Now, finding yarn colors is as fun as Marsala itself!
Some short cuts to Marsala yarn goodness:
- Marsala matches from all yarns / fibers
- Bulky & super bulky Marsala matched yarns
