Knitting yarn can be found in a great variety of colour choices. There are shades to suit just about every style. To follow are some options for colours which might like to try. They will certainly add some vibrancy to your next knitting project.

Shades of purple are a favorite among knitters for a great variety of reasons for sock yarn. The dark colour is very forgiving, softening the look of the fabric. This can be useful if you are just starting out with knitting and want to hide mistakes.

As well, purple is a traditional fall colour, reflecting the deep, warm shades of Autumn. Furthermore, it enhances skin tones. This is especially true for cool complexions. Purple is regal and rich. It seems to exude warmth which is the perfect compliment to warm knitted sweaters and scarves for Fall and Winter. You can find purple in a vast variety of shades from pale lavender to deep amethyst.

Delicate and soft pink is another popular colour for knitted accessories. The pale colour is a great way to show of very delicate knitting. It is an obvious option for girls' and baby's bonnets, mittens and cardigans. However it is just as effective in adult clothing, lending a feminine touch. Try pairing a pink accessory such as a scarf or beret with a black coat or dress for a soft accent. You might also like to try decorating pink knitted items with beads and sequins to make them extra pretty.

Pink can be found in a variety of shades, which leads to another colour suggestion, hot pink. This bright magenta shade is full of cheer and youthfulness. In fact, it can brighten your day just by wearing it. Wearing a hot pink scarf or hat is a great way to introduce a sense of play. Hot pink is a good choice for kids clothing because it looks so lively and bright.

A list of top colours for knitting would not be complete without the classic, black. A black knitted garment is extremely versatile and can be paired with many other colours. Consider Audrey Hepburn's black knitted cardigans. They were a classic style statement. If you don't like the cropped option, choose a cardigan with a longer flowing style and a belt. It is not only warm but flattering. A black knitted accessory can give your winter and fall wardrobe an instant sense of drama and elegance.

Another top colour of yarn which is highly versatile is gray. It is a great choice if you want a shade that goes with many different outfits as an alternative to black. A heather gray cardigan goes well with many different colours of dresses from red, to pale yellow to royal blue.

A cool gray colour is flattering to many different complexions. It also looks great with red or pink lipstick shades. Gray socks that are hand knitted make a great gift because of their versatility. The military look always seems to be popular during the cold seasons and gray yarn accessories are perfect for this style. Gray knitted gloves can be paired with a blue or black military style jacket for a warm and stylish winter look.
