Would you believe that nearly 8 out of 10 knitters say the colors they choose affect their project satisfaction more than the actual fiber? As we peek into 2025, European designers and artisans are introducing a fresh spectrum of hues—colors that whisper tales of sustainability, wrap you in comfort, and celebrate creative self-expression.
