There were a few times I wanted to knit something Kraken-themed but couldn’t easily find the right yarn. Very few lines have a color range wide enough to have the different blue tones! And those that do tend to be like $30/skein.
So here are my results from doing some digging on Ravelry and actually purchasing yarn.
* Deep sea blue (navy) = Mimic C28659 (a little on the light side) * Ice blue (aqua) = Wonderland heather C26067 * Boundless blue/shadow blue (gray-blue) = Denim N4120 * I’m realizing as I write this out that I didn’t differentiate between the two here. Denim would be closer to the lighter one * Red alert (red) = Serrano C24663
What’s the project? I made a win/loss scarf with mine. Nice job on the matching! I too refuse to knit with crap yarn.
Love our fiber art community here! Thanks for sharing 💕
This is the sweater my wife recently knit for me using some Cascades Superwash. She made me a blanket of the win/loss patterns from our second (amazing) season and had a TON of yarn leftover.
Too funny. My wife is crocheting a kraken right now. Went to the store and got yarn close to kraken colors as she could find. I’ll have to show her this.
I love Al of this! Kraken and yarn unite!
Ooo, very nice! I wonder if someone has done this with DMC floss for the Kraken embroidery/cross-stitch brigade.
Very cool
That medium blue is always a tricky one. I settled for this light slate at Joanne.
