Every monitor is different and certain colours are hard to photograph, so buying yarn online can be a bit of an adventure. In hopes of easing the surprise factor, we offer a digital colour card of our Usual Suspects, hoping to use words where images fail.
Arsenic: A mid-to-dark green with shades of black, emerald and spruce. It reminds me of evergreen forests. Knits up as a semi-solid with subtle changes between tones.
Bismuth: A light petal pink with shades of ivory and amethyst. Knits up as a subtle variegated, with regular repeats between three tones.
Cerium: A bright juicy orange with shades of yellow, tangerine and cherry. Knits up as a subtle variegated, with the majority in shades of orange, with short repeats of redder and yellower tones.
Iron: A mid-tone brown, with shades of deep purple, black, and rust. Knits up as a variegated yarn with striking changes between the brown and purple tones. This colourway has more variation from skein to skein than some others.
Lead: A very dark purple, with shades of eggplant and faded ink. Knits up as a semi-solid with subtle changes between tones. Can read as black when combined with other colours. Reads quite differently in merino lace than in other bases - expect a dustier tone, with more grey.
Neon: A very bright pink with shades of fuchsia and cherry. Knits up as a semi-solid, with the majority in shades of hot pink, with short repeats of a redder tone.
Phosphorous: A mid-tone blend of yellows, warm browns, and beiges. Knits up as a variegated yarn, with subtle changes between colours. The yellow tone has a good amount of green in it.
Promethium: A bright-to-dark oceanic blue-green, with shades of sapphire, turquoise and kelly green. Knits up as a semi-solid, with subtle changes between tones. Reads quite differently in merino lace than in other bases - expect a dustier tone, with more of a pastel tone to the lighter blues.
Rhodium: A mid-to-dark red, with shades of pink and purple. It reminds me of Victorian Valentines. Knits up as a variegated yarn, with short repeats in four to five tones, ranging from blood red to eggplant. Reads quite differently in merino lace than in other bases - expect a dustier tone, with a more floral feel.
Tungsten: A light ivory, with shades of milky tea and caramel. Knits up as a variegated with the ivory tones blending quite subtly, but the caramel standing out. This colourway has more variation from skein to skein than others.
