As I wait patiently (perhaps a white lie?) for our boxes from Ireland to trickle through Customs, I wanted to share a bit of a preview of the new 2024 colors that will soon be here from Hedgehog Fibres! These will be available on Sock, Skinny Singles and Merino DK. I was hoping by the end of the week, but these parcels are taking a bit more time, so I'm thinking it will be early next week before they are here and photographed and up for sale.
These photos are provided by Hedgehog Fibres, and I will take photos of the actual skeins once they arrive. I find that theirs are usually a bit overexposed and "styled" in a way that makes them look really nice but not exactly representative of what actually arrives, so I take our own photos. Afterall, hand dyed skeins can look different in each batch that arrives, so when they do they often get new photos. Here's what you'll see soon!
The short descriptions after each name are directly from Hedgehog Fibres.
Avo - perfectly avocado, mellow green
Caterpillar - bright and punchy lime greens and yellows, peppered with reddish oranges.
Celestial mysterious deep purples, tons of speckles in green and blue tones
Woodland - soft and delicate pastel tones with a light smattering of speckles
Crocus - spring green with hints of pinky lavender and dreamy speckles
Lavender Fields (a colorway Hedgehog Fibres already sent us last year, and we will have more of now that it's added to their 2024 line up) - delightful lavender base with cheerful little speckles. The most popular "Colourway of the Month" of 2023
Lone Wolf - haunting deep teals and greys, dark rust and speckles
Minty - luminous mint green
Moonstone - clean watery blue with vibrant orange-y speckles
Peachy Keen - bright peach with warm toned speckles. Little bit hard to photography, gorgeous in person!
Pond Life - faded greens with dark contrast-y speckles. Delicate touches of blue and pink
Sangria (which is interesting because they already have a color called Sangria. So I'm assuming this will change shortly) - vibrant reds with touches of blue and green and a ton of speckles. Red is one of our most requested colours!
Seahorse - blues and purples with cool tones speckles. Cheerful and very cute!
Sunshower - this one is fun! Multicolour without being too garish, Sunshower will inject joy into any project.
Superbloom - Zingy greens with multicolour speckles, one of the studio faves.
Wildflower - Fresh yet quite elegant. Spring is coming!
Wisteria - dusty pastel purple
Monsoon - stormy greys with green and purple speckles, touch of rust
Those are AMAZING Colors - even for Hedgehog Fibres! Beata has outdone herself. There are at least 4-5 MUST haves & an equal number of almost must haves!
