The new shades of Caron Collection threads are arriving in stores. Ever since they came out, they have been a serious addiction to me. I buy skeins of Watercolours, the way other women buy lipstick, they are my favorite pick me up. When the new colors come out, I anxiously await the list of names, because they are so evocative of the color combinations. They are available in all four multi-color threads.
Thanks to Theresa at Homestead Needle Arts, here’s the list. The color numbers are in bold, with the name following and, in parentheses, the main colors. Thanks to Theresa for the picture as well. You can find them on her What’s New page along with many wonderful canvases.
260 Sticks and Stones (dark and very dark teal with flashes of dark gold, dark olive and light teal), 261 Karakum (dark gray with flashes of burgundy and light gray), 262 Sandalwood (semi-solid very pale dusty rose), 263 Salt and Pepper (dark to medium grays), 264 Oyster (semi-solid light warm gray), 265 Quicksilver (semi-solid very pale gray), 266 Smoky Mountains (semi-solid light gray), 267 Wisteria (pale blue to blue-violet), 268 Sahara Sunrise (blue, blue-gray and blue-violet with flashes of pink and green), 269 Bubblegum (pink to muted pink-violet), 270 Easter Egg (pastel hot pink, green, yellow-green, and lavender), 271 Wasabi (semi-solid pale yellow-green), 272 Mint (semi-solid pale green), 273 Blonde (semi-solid pale gold), 274 Summer Blonde (not a lighter shade of 273, but very pale yellow and orange), 275 Daffodil (yellow to yellow-orange, saturated hues), 276 Tequila Sunrise (orange, hot pink and yellow), 277 Hot Peppers (pale gold, peach, dark and medium-dark red), 278 Chianti (semi-solid dark wine)
