Hello!
So, a few weeks ago we asked over on socials which yarn colours you wanted to see more knits in. After a HUGE response we thought we would select the colours that popped up the most to give some inspo from some of our LAD knits and knits that have been shared by our wonderful customers. So the five of our stock Lauren Aston Designs Super Chunky yarn colours that we have selected are (drum roll please): Mink Blush, Bright Pink, Pewter Brown, Forest and Scarlet.
Mink Blush
You love Mink Blush! It’s always been one of our best selling yarn colours and according to Instagram, you still can’t get enough of it. A couple of knit’s that we have whipped up in this colour include the also best-selling Dreamy Oversized Cardigan and the Bobble Optional Hat. It’s a really fab neutral colour which can be spiced up with something brighter or kept with other muted tones for a chic, sophisticated look.

Our lovely LAD community have tried knitting the Snood, a striped version of the Roll Up Knit Down Jumper as well as the Dreamy Oversized Cardigan in this fab dusky colour.

Bright Pink
Sticking to the pink (ish) tones we move onto Bright Pink (one of my personal favourites). The LAD’s have used this beauty to knit the Not Your Basic Stitch Jumper, the Knotted Headband and fabulous leopard print spots on the Leopard Cushion Cover.

Pewter Brown
So then we move into Pewter Brown, a very popular choice of colour. A very earthy and natural tone in which the LAD’s have knit the ‘Hood Life’ Bonnet & Hood and the Knit More, Waste Less Jumper.

Forest
We love the green shades here at LAD but the Knotted Headband, the Roll Up Knit Down Jumper and the Cropped Cable Knit Jumper have all looked fantastic in Forest. Such a wearable colour!
