🩵Steady. Soft. Strong.

Some colors just feel like the person who loves them. Playing Favorites: Brian is a soft slate blue with a quiet strength to it—calm, dependable, and incredibly easy to live with. Which, come to think of it, sounds a lot like Brian…or B, as he’s known around here.

This is the blue that keeps finding its way into B’s closet, especially in flannel shirts and everyday wearables. It sits beautifully between denim and gray: softly muted rather than bright, with enough depth to feel substantial without becoming dark. It’s the sort of color that works with almost everything and never really goes out of style.

Playing Favorites is our ongoing collection celebrating the colors our family reaches for again and again. Over the next several weeks, we’ll be introducing each family member’s favorite—the shades that somehow keep following us home in clothing, accessories, household things…and naturally, yarn.

Because Playing Favorites is a dye-to-order collection, you can choose your preferred yarn base and order the quantity your project actually needs. Sweater quantity? Absolutely. One perfect skein for a hat? That works too. We’ll dye your yarn especially for you; please allow 7–10 days for your order to be dyed and ready to ship.

Perfect for: classic sweaters, cozy cardigans, hats and scarves, everyday accessories, or pairing with warm neutrals and deeper blues.

Hand dyed in small batches in Vermont, each skein will have subtle variations in tone and depth that make your finished project uniquely yours.
