Alternate Colours for Mimi
It is possible to work the Mimi pattern from my Opera Season II Collection in many different colour combinations. Each would create its own unique look and mood.
The combo above is "Northern Woods" matched with "Moss". Northern Woods has a more highly contrasting colour variation than the original. But I believe it would look beautiful in that design. A woodsy version, great with jeans.
Here is another blue-based combination: "Nova Scotia" paired with "Salt Spray". Perhaps a little more elegant, but still quite a casual look.
I love this pairing below: "Pewter" with "Bronze". Elegant, understated, just downright sophisticated beauty.
And I had to include this ultra-feminine version: "Ivory" together with "Natural". The "Ivory" is my current batch which has more pink in it than usual. I call it the "Pale Poinsettia " dye lot.
This would make the most delicate, dainty version of the bunch.
All the yarns are Fleece Artist's Woolie Silk 3-Ply, which continues to be one of my favourite yarns to work with. A lovely combination of 65% merino wool and 35% silk. The stability of wool with the luxury of silk.
Of course, these are not the only possible colour combinations. But I thought I would put these few together--to help stir the imagination.
