Autumn 2009 Colorways

1. Pieces of Eight

Pieces of Eight was an idea from last year that I really really wanted to do, but I put the idea back on the shelf since we had so many colorways last year. I was chomping at the bit to dye it for this year! Pirates and cannons and yo ho hos, bottles of rum!

Colors: Light steel green, goldenrod, silver, black, maroon, blood red

2. Pumpkin Royale



Well I always have to do both a pumpkin and an apple colorway every year, and here is this year's pumpkin. My inspiration for Pumpkin Royale was misty images of a rural pumpkin patch: the pumpkins, the faded vines, the soil, the overcast sky, the sun-bleached denim on the scarecrow.

Colors: orange, natural, light steel green, chocolate, carmel, and light steel blue

3. Fair Isle Carmel Apple



Our Apple colorway this year year is a fun makeover of our Classic Carmel Apple colorway. We still love Classic Carmel Apple but we had fun mixing it up in this fun colorway. Colors include all of the colors of the original, but substitutes natural for silver. color repeats are also short and more erratic than the original.

4. Cast a Spell



Who says bold blue can't be 'fallish'? Bold splashes of blue offset the traditional autumn colors in this whimsical colorway.

Colors: Light steel green, ultra-marine blue, faded ocean blue, corn husk yellow, rust red, brown and natural.

5. Little Orchard

Colors: dark and light iced lilac, natural, dark and light steel green, brown
