Because it doesn’t sell!
It seems that few people (apart from me) are impressed by yellow socks…. or cowls, or mittens. But that doesn’t stop me gazing at my daffodils every Spring and thinking why not…?
This yarn above was achieved by a combination of dip dyeing and hand painting .
This plum and lime one has more intense colour sections and was done by injecting the dye in several stages.
The yarn below (a rather subtle colourway called crocus – note the sneaky touch of yellow…) was almost entirely painted by hand, using a small brush.
If you are curious, take a peek at my Etsy shop (button top right) to see some other techniques.
PS. If yellow is the least popular colour, which set of shades do you think regularly flies off the shelf – and not just off Etsy? Please comment with your guess.
Answer next time!

I really love the mix of yellow and lime green. However, when yarn shopping I am drawn to reds and blues.

The last one is a beautiful blend, reminds me strongly of violets in spring. The second colour palette has a distinctly comic-book feel to it (reminds me of the Joker’s outfit: punchy combination of purples and greens).

Ah, not sure the Joker was quite the effect I was looking for – but thank you for your kind comments!
