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!

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.
