12 Combinations of Bérénice and Semilla Melange I Love
Hi my lovelies! When we received our latest restock of BC Garn's Semilla Melange (one of my favorite sustainable budget-friendly yarns - 100% wool, non-superwash, GOTS-certified), I couldn't resist: I had to pull out our box of De Rerum Natura Bérénice, the wonderful fluffy silk-mohair-merino yarn, to see if I could find a few color matches.
And I did! 12 perfect matches – I couldn't believe it. So naturally, I had to share them with you!
The Neutrals
Semilla Melange has a gorgeous range of natural sheepy shades – and I was so delightfully surprised to see how many of them had a match with Bérénice!
From left to right: Semilla Melange in Light Grey with Bérénice in Crème, Semilla Melange in Stone Grey with Bérénice in Goéland, Semilla Melange in Anthracite with Bérénice in Crépuscule
From left to right: Semilla Melange in Heather with Bérénice in Avoine, Semilla Melange in Caramel with Bérénice in Chocolat Chaud, Semilla Melange in Chocolate with Bérénice in Cacao
The Brights
I adore the beautiful color range of Semilla Melange - no matter whether you prefer a warmer shade, like their rusty red, or a cooler (very hip) shade like Violet, they got you covered! Bérénice has perfect color matches for a lot of them:
From left to right: Semilla Melange in Violet with Bérénice in Oursin, Semilla Melange in Bright Pink with Bérénice in Tutu, Semilla Melange in Rust with Bérénice in Badiane
From left to right: Semilla Melange in Apple Green with Bérénice in Fusain, Semilla Melange in Forest Green with Bérénice in Belle Étoile, Semilla Melange in Dark Blue with Bérénice in L'Heure Bleue
Aren't they gorgeous together? I am already dreaming about what to cast on with them! You can get both Semilla Melange and Bérénice in the shop – and if you have any questions or would like to see alternative color pairings, do let us know!

Issue 13 – Confetti & Rainbows | Official Pattern Preview
Hi lovelies! The sun is out here in Berlin, and what better day to talk about one of the most joyful issues we've ever done than a brilliant sunny winter day – meet Issue 13, Confetti & Rainbows!
In Issue 13 – our Spring 2025 Issue – we want to play! Confetti and rainbows, unusually and unconventionally interpreted in 12 new knitwear designs – a journey through color, shapes, texture and materials.
Confetti made out of dried flowers, collected over months from bouquets and the road side. Sparkly rainbows, light reflecting. Gentle textures and shapes, echoing the different forms confetti can take. An unexpected rainbow around the corner, on a brick wall, painted in broad strokes.
New Look, Same Heart: The Story Behind Our Delightful Rebrand
Hi lovelies! I am back today with a wonderful behind-the-scenes interview with Caroline Frett, a super talented illustrator from Berlin, who is the heart and and hands behind the new look we've been sporting for a little while.
Caro also has a shop for her delightfully cheeky and (sometimes brutally) honest T-Shirts, postcards, and mugs. (I am particularly fond of this T-Shirt and this postcard!)
I am so excited Caro agreed to an interview to share her thoughts and work process, and what she especially loves about our rebrand!
Thoughts on closing down a knitting magazine
As a lot of you might have suspected I have, at last, made the decision to definitely close down Making Stories Magazine after Issue 14, our 2025 Fall & Winter issue. This means we still have two issues to go - Issue 13, coming out in March (Confetti & Rainbows!!), and Issue 14, coming out in September. I wanted to share this decision with you bright and early as I don’t feel like holding this in when we publish our last Spring and then our very last Fall & Winter issue. I want to celebrate those issues, and the work that we have done over the last eight years, and I want to be able to share the bittersweet feelings that will inevitably come up when the list of “lasts” still do be done gets shorter and shorter.
