Choosing one colour is hard enough.
Then comes the really interesting part: deciding what to put next to it.
Contrast, balance, rhythm.
Sometimes unexpected combinations are the ones that make a project come alive.

Sometimes the connection is impossible to miss.
Warm stone.
Soft cream.
Touches of rust and ochre.
A colourway can feel completely new and somehow familiar at the same time.
Maybe this is why.

Sometimes you don't realise how much you've made until it's all in one place.
Different colours, different experiments, different moments.
Each skein started with an idea.
Together, they're becoming the world of Dark Omen Yarn.

One stitch at a time.
This is the moment when yarn stops being just yarn and slowly becomes something personal.
For me, that's still a little bit magical.

It’s been a long hot summer 🎶 and I didn’t have the time nor physical energy to think this time around!
So here we are, with the MKAL Color Kaleidoscope craze raging on, having to come up with something new, eye grabbing and exciting!
The original kits appear to have run out at S&P’s HQ, so thank you all ever so much 🙏 

Luckily for me though, I’ve worked on so many new colors this summer that it felt appropriate to make something with them. This is the “J-J-J-JACKPOT!!!” Kit! 

8 colors that vibe with slot-machines and retro video games! 

Colors are: 
Not Quite so Bejeweled 💎
Song of the Sea 🧜‍♀️
Empyrean 🌆
Italo Disco 🕺
Fruity! 🍉
Rose Fizz 🌹
Nightbringer 🎆
Harvest 🌾

If you don’t wanna go for the MKAL, this is still a stunning fade that goes well with any shawl or sock or sweater 😉

Stock verrrry limited!

Happy MKAL season! taken in Dark Omen Yarn by @darkomenyarn

New colours.
Some soft and subtle.�Others made to stand out.
Each with its own character, and each waiting to become something entirely new.
Which one would you choose?
