A pop of colour: knitting with seasonal hues

A pop of colour: knitting with seasonal hues

Posted by Like Cloud Designs on 17th Oct 2018

Spring is time to start transforming the home's colours from cuddly winter palettes into lighter feeling spring/summer hues.

Whether you've decided to begin arm knitting a gorgeous handmade chunky knit merino wool blanket, or you'd like to attain some of our gorgeous chunky merino wool for another home styling project, this is a guide for seasonal colours that are on trend right now. I hope to bring you some inspiration for your super chunky wool knitting. 


As we are plunging into this crispy-feeling spring, it's time to start transforming the home's colours from cuddly winter palettes into lighter feeling spring/summer hues. So what are the hot colours and styles to look for? A good spring colour palette consists of light tones, cooler colours and a splash of saturation. Check out our colour range, you'll definitely find the one.

Contrasted decor

Predominately, think in terms of balance. When you enter a room you want to feel encompassed in the atmosphere, not swept away in the chaos. So, remember to introduce neat and tidy lines. For example, wallpaper is a great way to introduce a feature wall and add long, lean lines to the room. Vertical lines will create a more peaceful energy.

Textural comfort

Another very popular home fashion trend is texture. Using texture is a way to add effortless luxury to any room of the house. You can infuse texture by adding couch covers as well as bedspreads and throws. Choosing to use a throw to add texture is ideal because it is a smaller surface, so it won't dominate the room.

You can bring a personalised touch by using super bulky merino wool in your favourite colour. If the giant merino yarn in mint is your preferred colour, you can be sure it will lift any corner of the room. You could enjoy some arm knitting and create a throw or blanket in any size you like. Approximations for blanket sizes are available in product description for the Giant yarns we sell.

When you are ready to choose some giant yarn or one of our handmade chunky knit merino wool blankets, just remember that style is about what you find beautiful. Get creative and explore all our colour options.
