Summer color has a mood all its own—sun-washed pinks, faded denim blues, citrusy brights, and sandy neutrals that whisper of beach days and wildflower fields. At Sweet Meadow Knits, we love translating those seasonal palettes into projects that feel just as breezy and joyful to wear as they are to make.
And when it comes to choosing a yarn for your next warm-weather knit, we can’t think of a better match than Twisp.
Why Twisp Feels Like Summer
Twisp by HiKoo is a sport-weight yarn spun with warm days in mind. It blends:
- Pima Cotton – long, soft fibers for comfort and durability
- Bamboo Viscose – for luster, breathability, and that effortless summer drape
- Hemp – adding a quiet strength and light structure
The result? A yarn that feels cool against your skin, knits up beautifully in a simple stockinette or in a textured pattern, and comes in a palette that practically begs for tees, tanks, and easy layering pieces.
Knitting the Season: Color Pairings We Love
Twisp’s color range leans into softness and light—perfect for playing with contrast or creating tonal looks. Here are a few romantic pairings for summer projects:
- Sea Glass + Salt – think waves and shoreline (lagoon & natural)
- Coral + Citrus – a cheerful nod to garden blooms and backyard cocktails (coral & daffodil)
- Indigo + Sky – for knits that move effortlessly into early fall (french navy & lakeshore)
- Driftwood + Fog – timeless neutrals with a modern twist (beechwood & natural)
Planning a striped tee or a breezy tank? Twisp's gentle sheen and soft hand give simple shapes a polished finish—perfect for patterns that let the yarn do the talking.
Project Ideas to Cast On
Need a little inspiration for what to knit next? Try:
- A short-sleeve boxy top for beach walks and coffee runs
- A lace-trimmed shawl in a single glowing hue
- A sleeveless shell with blocks of color or subtle slip-stitch texture
- A lightweight cardigan to toss over sundresses or tanks
Twisp knits up comfortably on anywhere from US 3–7 needles, making it a great match for relaxed projects that flow from needles to wardrobe with ease.
