I channeled memories of my big brother’s room when creating Cotton Candy “Product of the 80’s” and a few colors stuck out to me. A strong black background (what kid’s room isn’t a black hole, after all!?) with all the primaries – red, yellow, and blue - and then a pop of Ninja Turtle green. All of our favorite toys (the ones I’d try to swipe) combined into one, like, totally radical color. If worked in the round, color pooling may occur, but is dependent on your tension and stitch count.
About Cotton Candy:
100% cotton
Sport Weight (CYCA #2) – about 6 stitches = 1” on size US 4 needles
146 yards/135 meters per 1.75 ounce/50 gram ball.
Machine wash cold separately and tumble dry low.
Cotton Candy is hand-dyed by me in small batches whenever the whim to dye strikes me. Please purchase more than enough to make your desired project as colors will rarely be repeated. No two skeins will be exactly the same, but I will do my best to select balls that work the best with each other when you order more than one.
When selecting patterns to make with these yarns, keep in mind that these colors are best suited to simple stitch patterns. Baby hat patterns are included as PDFs with your purchase!
