There’s something magical about knitting with colors that echo the world around you. The frosted tones of winter berries, the misty muted tones of and early morning in Spring, the sunny hues of a day at the shore in Summer, or the glowing maples of Autumn all have their own personality. Our Spindrift Yarn Bundles by the Season capture the feeling of the season in curated palettes designed specifically for stranded colorwork. Each bundle invites you to knit the colors of your favorite season.
These collections feature eight carefully chosen shades of Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift, a yarn renowned for its depth and range of color. Whether you knit with just a few shades or the entire palette, your finished project will reflect the mood and natural beauty of your favorite season.
Each of these palettes includes a harmonious range of light, medium, and dark values, curated to work well with traditional Fair Isle designs.
Winter: Frosted Berries
Flatters skin with cool undertones, and contrasting hair color
This palette contains crisp clean berry colors along with emerald green as a contrasting accent. These shades tend to flatter knitters with cool brown or pale skin tones and dark hair (brown, black, deep auburn). Working with this palette creates vivid, elegant colorwork mirroring the sparkling light of winter.
Spring: Misty Meadows
Flatters warm, light, delicate coloring
The Spring bundle captures the colors of apple trees seen through the early morning mist. These soft hues beautifully suit knitters with peachy or golden undertones, light-to-medium hair (strawberry blonde, soft brown, warm blonde), and clear, light eyes like aqua, hazel, or warm green.
Summer: Seaside Garden
Flatters cool, muted skin tones with softly contrasting hair & eye color
The colors in the Summer bundle blends sea-glass blues, soft garden greens, lilac shadows, and sun-washed yellows. These are soft, cool colors with a watercolor quality, and tend to look especially lovely on knitters with cool skin tones, ashy blonde or light brown hair, and gray, cool hazel, or soft green eyes. The effect is serene, like a warm day at the shore.
Autumn: Maple Grove
Flatters warm, earthy, rich coloring
The Autumn bundle brings together rich, warm tones inspired by falling leaves, and accented by a clear sky blue. These colors flatter knitters with warm brown, golden, or olive skin tones, red, auburn, brunette, or golden hair, and brown, hazel, or warm green eyes.
Why Shetland Spindrift Shines in Colorwork
The beauty of Jamieson’s Spindrift lies in its heathered, mixed-color construction. Each shade is spun from multiple flecks of dyed fiber, giving the yarn depth of color. Because these colors aren’t flat or solid, they naturally blend and shift into one another, creating soft transitions which give your stranded colorwork that painterly effect. And because it’s a non-superwash wool, your floats bloom together, resulting in warmer, more cohesive stranded fabric over time.
