Have you heard? We're expanding our palette to include a range of sophisticated new colors that will mix and match beautifully. The first of the new colors to arrive, shown above, are ideal for creating lush blends with our other yarn lines.

As soon as the trio arrived, you can bet we set to test-knitting them with other favorites. After hours of swatching & blocking, we have a collection of combinations knitters are sure to love:

• Silk Cloud Suit with Staccato in Suit
• Silk Cloud Suit with Baby Alpaca DK Storm
• Silk Cloud Suit with Heichi Canal
• Silk Cloud Artichoke with Staccato Artichoke
• Silk Cloud Artichoke with Baby Alpaca DK Seaweed
• Silk Cloud Artichoke with Heichi Greenspace
• Silk Cloud Flaxen with Staccato Dijon
• Silk Cloud Flaxen with Staccato Jackie
• Silk Cloud Flaxen with Heichi Brownstone

The rest of the new palette is scheduled to arrive in waves (stocking 20 new colors would be cruel and unusual to our warehouse elf) over the next 2 - 3 months. During that time we're planning on doing a Shibui Mix post series, highlighting our own favorite color and fiber blends as well as some fun (and unique) ways to mix and match yarn for spectacular results!

Until the next post, you might want to admire Suit, Artichoke, and Flaxen on our website - or even up close and personal at a Shibui Retailer!
