These yarn colors are inspired by all things autumn– from the cooler tones reminiscent of crisp mornings and the changing hues of foliage, to festive celebrations and the comfort of warm tones. 

The must-have shades of autumn

1. Reseda Green

With its sense of calm this is a key color for casualwear. Being a balanced mid-tone makes it perfect for both contrasting with rich and dark shades as well as pairing with other paler colors. The muted quality of Reseda Green is associated with comfort and restoration and is becoming more and more popular as an alternative to the pastels used more in spring wear.

2. Terra Brown

Earthy natural tones resonate deeply with the outdoors which makes Terra Brown perfect for autumn. This warm yet light pigment brings a touch of nature into any wardrobe and appears in autumn fashion every year. It works with a range of skin tones and can be used for knitting a wide range of apparel: from smart and tailored items to casual and oversized. It also brings with it a gorgeously vintage feel.

3. Turquoise

A beautifully cool and vibrant shade reminiscent of 60s glam. This color is emerging as one of the latest favorites for transeasonal style as the focus is moving from pale blues to green-based tones. Turquoise is ideal for adding a pop of color to clothing and accessories or knitting bold all-turquoise statement pieces. Despite it being a bright color it’s extremely versatile and works alongside a range of different shades.

4. Dark Brown

The color of the earth, working to bring a deeply rich tone to your wardrobe and ideal for combining with a variety of other colors. Like Terra Brown, this shade also incorporates a sense of nature that is ideal for autumn style. Each year the color also continues to get even more popular across autumn fashion. This classic brown is perfect for inspiring a retro aesthetic as well as a timeless feel.

5. Red

Another classic and timeless color – ideal for partywear and for adding a real touch of glamor to other, more casual items. Like Turquoise, this bold and daring shade of red is perfect for adding a vibrancy to your knitting projects that is both uplifting and opulent. Against the background of fallen leaves and dark nights, why not stand out this season? Red is the original statement color.
