  • 24 Perfect Color Matches for Zauberwolle

    May 22, 2024 3 min read

    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:

      From left to right: Semilla Melange in Light Grey with Zauberwolle in Shadow, Semilla Melange in Light Grey with Zauberwolle in Aldebaran, Semilla Melange in Heather with Zauberwolle in A Bed of Fuchsia

    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.

    From left to right: Semilla Melange in Dark Blue with Zauberwolle in Elephant Rally, with Zauberwolle in Autumn Wind, and with Zauberwolle in Stone Washed

    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!

    From left to right: Semilla Melange in Violet with Woman in the Woods, Moonbar, and Rush Hour

    I hope you love these color pairings as much as I do!

And last, but not least: You can get both Zauberwolle and Semilla Melange in our shop!

    Let’s wander the streets of Brussels and Paris, searching for the hidden architectural Art Nouveau gems – houses, doors, windows, street lamps. Let’s explore Berlin’s Jugendstil tile art, marvelling at the colors and shapes taking form. Let’s get lost in the work of water color artists, glass blowers, jewellers, embroidery artists, and myriads more, who dive into the shapes and curves of plants and flowers, moving, flowing, mirroring.

    What it means to be an indie knitting magazine

    We've seen dramatic changes in the knitting magazine landscape over the past 12 months: Pom Pom Quarterly ceased publication at the end of 2023, Laine sold the majority of their company to one of the biggest Finnish publishers, and Amirisu first pivoted to books, and now to an online-only media outlet. Multicraftual magazines that often included knitting patterns were equally as affected: Making pivoted to a combined app and monthly membership business model, and Taproot first changed to a preorder model, and then very abruptly closed their business (the website is offline, hence no link).

    This has left us standing as one of the very, very few indie knitting magazines in the market.
