Cotton Candy - TMC x Coconknits
š¤©Aaah Iām so excited to tell you that Kelly fromĀ @coconknitsĀ and I have teamed up for this super fun collab.
Kelly reached out to me a little while ago to ask for a yarn recommendation for a Lento sweater and I was like, you know what: why not create a custom color. I absolutely loooove everything that Kelly knits up and I think her style is *chefās kiss*. So safe to say that I was really excited about her reaching out š„°.
š¬We chatted back and forth and eventually settled on this color called: Cotton Candy.
I thought the subtle and sweet swirls of the pink and purple would be fitting for a cotton candy color name! You can honestly make this color more outspoken or more subtle depending on the base you choose. I absolutely love it with one of my fingering weight yarns and my white Soothing Suri combined which you can see in the bottom swatch. Just the perfect subtle sweet swirls of cotton candy.

Good to know
During the dye process, I try my hardest to make all the skeins as similar as possible but since this is a handmade product this also means that every skein is one of a kind.
To see the color as accurately as possible, please turn your screen brightness up. Keep in mind that different screens or devices can show the yarn colors slightly differently.
To the nature of hand-dyed yarn, some of these yarns can bleed during their first wash. Make sure to hand wash the projects individually in cold water.
