Playing Favorites: Brian's Bonus - Pale Gray

Quiet • Soft • Effortless 🤍

Brian’s first favorite was a soft slate blue. Given another chance to choose, he somehow managed to get even quieter.

Brian’s Bonus Favorite is a barely-there gray—a warm, whisper-soft neutral with just enough depth to separate it from natural cream. Depending on the yarn base and the light, you’ll see subtle shifts between pale stone, oatmeal, and the gentlest foggy gray.

And this one may be the sleeper hit of the entire Playing Favorites collection.

Because while it isn’t shouting for attention, it goes with practically everything. It can anchor a colorful sweater, soften bright colorwork, become the perfect neutral sock, or stand all on its own in a beautifully simple project where the stitches get to be the star.

Like all the colors in our Playing Favorites Dye-to-Order Collection, Brian’s Bonus Favorite is dyed especially for you. Choose your favorite yarn base and order the quantity your project actually needs. Please allow 7–10 days for us to dye your yarn and get it ready to ship.

Perfect for: Cables, textured sweaters, colorwork backgrounds, scarves, hats, baby knits, or anyone who firmly believes there is no such thing as too many good neutrals. Pair it with Brian’s original slate blue—or pretty much anything else in Playing Favorites.

Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches here in Vermont, so subtle variations are part of what makes your yarn unique. For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins.
