Local Yarn Store Day

hydrangea in bloom

This beautiful new ombre color was designed especially for Local Yarn Store Day on April 30, 2022.

This special colorway and its inverse in spots on cream, evoke the many shades of purple you can see in hydrangeas as they start to bloom.

Welcome spring with this lively and optimistic colorway.
