As we’re currently in gift-making season, it’s useful to consider these color trends when picking gifts to make that can be used in the warmer months, especially for those of us with loved ones who like to be on trend.Whether you mix and match these colors or use them on their own, each one makes a great statement.
Here are just a couple of yarns to consider when thinking about these spring 2011 colors:
