Kicking Off Baseball Season with Yarn!

The beginning of April means the start to a lot of things: spring blooms, warmer weather, and longer days. But as any sports fan knows, the first week of April means one thing: Major League Baseball’s Opening Day. Want to show your support for your favorite team? I’ve compiled a palette of colors for all 32 MLB teams in one of my favorite team-spirit yarns, Hometown USA. Not only is it soft and bulky so that projects will work up in a few evenings by the fire, it also comes in every bold color you can think of to support your favorite teams and schools.
I was lucky enough to attend the New York Mets Opening Day on Monday afternoon, and I brought the Mets-inspired blanket I’m knitting in Hometown USA along, using this color palette below!

  • that’s great 🙂

  • I like the attempt. I’ve made more then a few Seattle Seahawks hats out of Key Lime and San Diego Navy. However, that Mariners color combo… perhaps it’s just better to admit defeat if you have no teal.
