New Manos Colors

The new colors of Manos Silk Blend and Clasica Multi's arrived this morning. I think that the Silk Blend colors are a nice balance for the cheery brights of last season, and it makes a wonderful cohesive palette. There are some good neutrals like Natural, Black, Coffee and Briar (a darker version of the wildly popular color Dove), perfect for blending with the brights like Henna, Citric and Topaz from last season. Think Fair Isle mittens or sweaters for this winter!

Mermaid is a beautiful new wool multi that would look great as My So-Called Scarf. The colors are cool, but reminiscent of our favorite, Wildflowers. The colors are cool, shimmery and woodsy.

And Cornucopia is a great fall color! I have heard that someone actually sent a shipment of fall squashes from New England to Uruguay last year to get the colors to reflect our beautiful autumnal tones.

These colors are now available in the shop and online. The new books are coming soon...
We'll keep you posted!
