Orange Yarn

Every orange colorway we have in stock: bright tangerine and pumpkin, softer apricot and papaya, and deeper burnt orange and rust.

Rust and brick shades that lean red are also on red yarn, and golden oranges overlap with yellow yarn.

Orange is more wearable than you think

Bright orange is great for kids' knits, safety hats for hunting season, and Halloween projects. The deeper burnt oranges and rusts are classic fall sweater colors, and they look good with denim, cream, and dark green. Apricot and peach are soft enough for baby things.
