Be So Brave Yarn by Kristin Omdahl for Charity Knit & Crochet Projects

Be So Brave Yarn by Kristin Omdahl for Charity Knit & Crochet Projects

When researching colors for the palette for Be So Brave Yarn I took into consideration several factors: color trends, complementary hues and awareness ribbon colors for charities. Next month is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the awareness ribbon color is pink. Flamingo color way is a bright and cheerful raspberry sorbet. One hank is plenty for a hat, two for a scarf or a cowl. It’s worsted weight American Merino wool, soft and super lofty. And, it is 100% Made in the USA.

Down below, I have a list of all kinds of other charities and their respective awareness ribbon colors for your information.
