Knitting yarns are sold to customers in a great variety of colours and textures. In fact, there are hues which suit just about every kind of style.

Shades of purple knitting wool yarn are a favorite among knitters for a great variety of reasons. The dark colour is very forgiving, softening the look of the fabric. This can be useful if you are just starting out with knitting and want to hide mistakes. Furthermore, purple is one of those traditional fall colours, evoking the deep hues of the season. It is a great compliment to cool complexions. Not only is purple rich and regal, it seems to exude warmth and comfort. It feels warm so it is perfect for Fall and Winter sweaters and scarves. Purple can be found in many different shades from pale lilac to deep hues of amethyst. Delicate pink is another favorite colour choice for knitted garments and accessories. The pale colour seems to perfectly suit the delicate charm of knitted fabrics. Pink is of course often used for girl's and baby's knitted cardigans, hats and mittens. It also looks great for adult women's sweaters and scarves, lending a feminine touch to an outfit. Pink, like purple, compliments a variety of skin tones. Pairing a pink scarf with a dark colored coat is a great way to provide a fresh accent. Try decorating pink knitted accessories such as cardigans and scarves with sequins or beads to add a touch of elegance. Of course, pink yarn is available in many shades. Another top choice for yarn colours is magenta or hot pink. This color of accessory instantly injects a sense of fun and vibrancy to an outfit. This bright colour of pink can really make you feel younger just by wearing it. Choose a hot pink scarf or hat to give your winter wardrobe a little hint of playfulness. This bright shade of pink is also great for kids' clothes because it is youthful and lively. A classic colour for knitting is black. Audrey Hepburn's black knitted cardigans proved the point. Black knitted accessories never seem to go out of style. You can choose from black cropped sweaters or longer knee-length versions with belts for a stylish way to keep warm. A black knitted hat or scarf makes a winter coat look chic and elegant. Gray is another great colour for knitted garments. Not quite as dramatic as black, gray still lends a sense of style and class. Heather gray looks great with other brighter colours, including blue, pink and red. Cool grays are very complimentary to skin tones and look great with a bright shade of lipstick. Gray knitted socks are a great gift because the colour compliments blue jeans as well as suits or business wear. Gray winter gloves are classy and stylish and ideal for pairing with a black, blue or gray coat. The military look which is ideal for winter or fall is perfectly complimented by grey knitted accessories.
