Blending Black fibres with solid colours creates a marled effect. Introducing Caron Simply Soft Heathers yarn. This small but exquisite collection of yarn is something I love personally. To some, the muted grey colours are not very appealing, but statistics show that grey, black, and white are among the most purchased yarn colours.
For myself, grey is underestimated on how it can blend with so many other colours to make those colours pop. Just look at the crochet afghan in the gallery below. The grey sits in the background allowing the other colours to jump forward. I love that.
Also, in 2017, grey is a trending colour, even for baby nurseries, if you can believe it. The great thing about grey is the colour itself. You can get it a bit dirty and pretty much not see anything wrong. It can blend with animal hairs that may be lying around your home, as we have here with Riverstone, our cat.
Caron Simply Soft is a trusted brand of yarn in the USA. If you love Caron Simply Soft, the small heathers collection may be something you can consider in the future.
