Pantone Colour of the Year 2018 Ultraviolet - Yarn Suggestions

Pantone's choice for 2018 is Ultra Violet.They consider that it symbolises the mysteries of the unknown and that it inspires us to explore new worlds. It is also associated with individuality and uniqueness, motivating us to be creative and find our own way of communicating and express ourselves. Ultraviolet is a colour used in meditation spaces and connected to spirituality and mindfulness practices. More and more, people look for a refuge from today's busy world and are able to find piece in these type of activities. If you would like to know more about Pantone and Ultra Violet head over to this article.

But this is a yarn blog, so let's head for what it really matters. I would like to leave you with some suggestions of ultra violet coloured yarn and also other colours that would go well with it.

Four types of yarn in colours that match ultra violet dark blue dark green pink and golden yellow


I chose some colours to go with the ones in the first image. You have BC Garn Semilla Organic Lace in Dark Blue (top left), Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal Gold Autumn (top right), Cascade 128 Superwash Turtle (bottom left) and Willow & Lark Plume Gerbera Pink (bottom right).
Some of the combinations are a bit bold but it doesn't mean that you have to use both colours in the same amount. And life without risks would be a bit boring don't you think? Leave those classic combos and, in line with what was said at the beginning of this post, be creative and find your uniqueness.

You can find these yarns at Love Knitting and Loop London.

Have a great 2018!
