With spring on its way and the feeling that 2019 is just getting started, we wanted to highlight the patterns and yarn that match Pantone’s Color of the Year: Living Coral. While we wait for warmer days and the sun to come out, Living Coral makes its presence known in a variety of our past patterns. Seeing all of these designs together for the first time, we can see why this vibrant shade has captured our hearts for a very long time. We’re just glad that the color is finally getting the spotlight it deserves.
