24 Perfect Color Matches for Zauberwolle
Hi lovelies! You know how much I adore our 100% non-superwash wool color-changing yarn "Zauberwolle", right? I already knit myself a Pressed Flowers Hat and a Pressed Flowers Cardigan in it, and I can't wait to get the next project on the needles.
I thought it would be really cool to combine Zauberwolle with BC Garn's Semilla Melange, a wonderfully woolly GOTS-certified sport-weight yarn. (I knit the Pressed Flowers Cardigan in this exact combo, and it's a good one.) So imagine my delight when I realized how many colors of Semilla Melange actually work perfectly with the color-changing magic of Zauberwolle!
Without further ado, let me introduce you to a whopping 24 perfect color matches!
The Neutrals
Let's start with the fabulous natural shades of Semilla Melange! They look amazing paired with one of the more subdued color-changing cakes of Zauberwolle like "Shadow", and can also let the brighter ones shine:

The Blues
Next up: Blue! I adore a good, dark blue – it's the perfect canvas for anything, if you ask me! Spice it up with a bit of a contrast, or keep it in the color family with one of Zauberwolle's beautiful blue color-changing cakes.

The Warm Hues
If you prefer warmer colors, I got you! Semilla Melange comes in a gorgeous rusty orange as well as a warm chocolate brown, both of which work super well with one of the more autumnal shades of Zauberwolle:

The Greens
Rest assured, we also have a few really wonderful vibrant greens in store for you! Semilla Melange's Apple Green is an ode to spring, while the Forest Green colorway reminds me of a wonderful walk deep in the silent woods. And... on the last photo you get a sneak peek and transition into the next color section already!

The Punchy Brights
And last, but certainly not least, we have what might just be my favorite category: the punchy brights! You got a sneak peek of those already up above, and now I present to you: Violet and Bright Pink, paired with their soulmates in Zauberwolle!

All the knits I finished while recovering from surgery
About three weeks ago, I had surgery. Nothing major, and it was planned - but it was my first time undergoing general anaesthesia and facing an uncertain recovery period, both of which made me quite nervous. I knew that I was going to be in the hospital for two days, if everything went well, but then it was between one and three weeks of recovering at home, depending on how fast my body was going to heal.
Needless to say, I packed knitting for the hospital, but I didn’t feel like picking up my needles until my second day in the hospital. And then I knit. I knit, and knit, and knit. Curiously enough, I always get the urge to clear off my needles this time of the year - something about the weather changing, sweater season approaching, maybe? And this year, this urge coincided with me wanting to do something while watching copious amounts of Netflix without having to think very hard about what I was going to knit. Win win!
