Ever find it hard to pick a colour for a project? Or faced with a wall of yarn and not sure what colour to pick?
Every year Pantone, the international colour institute, selects a colour that serves as inspiration and focus for the next year across fashion, interiors and beauty.
And this year, that colour is Radiant Orchid, a beautiful blend of fuchsia, purple and pink, with inspiration drawn from the Phalaenopsis Orchid.
We have scoured the web for ideas and unique projects for this colour. Draw inspiration from some of the projects above and add a little creativity and imagination to your knitting or crochet.
And if you are in love with colour but just can’t find the perfect shade, KPC’s Cashmere lace in Cyclamen has just the right amount of purple, pink and fuchsia.
Let us know what you would knit or crochet in Radiant Orchid. How have you used this colour?
