Ever wondered why you feel so energised in a yellow room or calm in a blue one? It’s all about the power of colour! Colours can have a profound impact on our moods and emotions, and understanding how they work can help us create more harmonious and uplifting spaces in our lives 🌈

Red, for example, is often associated with energy, passion, and excitement. It can make us feel more alert and motivated. Blue, on the other hand, is known for its calming and soothing effects. It can help reduce stress and anxiety. Green is often linked to nature and growth, and it can evoke feelings of peace and tranquillity. If you’ve seen the episode of Peep Show, you know what I mean…

Our Yarnsmiths Create DK range is bursting with every colour imaginable. It’s almost been a year since we launched Create 120, and what a year it’s been! We asked some of our fantastic staff to choose their favourite palette from Create DK to see if there were any trending shades. Antique Gold, Country Green, and either Carrot or Ginger were top picks, while dispatch assistant Justin went for the blues!

Choosing the colours for your next crafting project is serious business. You’re committing yourself to a whole project that could take months, and you might not even like the colours at the end. We love the pegs from Emily at Eliza and the Giraffe, as they really help us plan and coordinate our next projects. Colours can uplift our mood and change how we approach a project.

So, the next time you’re feeling down, try surrounding yourself with cheerful colours like yellow or orange. If you need to relax, opt for calming hues like blue or green. Remember, colour is a powerful tool that can enhance our well-being and brighten our days 💁‍♀️
