Thanks!

For Comfy worsted, Peony is a new pink and then Flamingo and Pomegranate are the other pink tones in that line. In Shine worsted, Coral is a pretty pink shade. For Wool of the Andes, check out Tulip, Pink Cheeks, Fairy Tale, or Black Cherry Heather.

But now that you've pointed it out, we could use more pink yarns. I'm going to suggest that at the next color meeting.

Also, good luck on your February Lady Sweater. There was a knit along in Portland, and I've seen a lot of gorgeous versions of that sweater. Have you seen the Yarn Harlot's version? She spun the yarn herself and it is shades of pink. Click here; ▶ Reply to This

(That is, going to the hand-dyed yarn category brings up that yarn); ▶ Reply to This

Unfair!!! however, I won't be complaining. Lot of fun new Cotlin colors. I second that wish for a Cotlin-based sweater/jacket KAL! I think Cotlin is my favorite yarn of all.; ▶ Reply to This

If that is so, although there's not much to do about it if they're already sent out, the catalog (at least as I browsed online) erroneously includes Main Line in a list of cotton yarns that are getting new colors (in Kelley's introductory letter). Oh, yes, and this City Tweed sounds interesting. I'm waiting for it!; ▶ Reply to This
