Below are suggested cool tone colorways, including black and greys. 

Estimates are based on the base yarns as wool, however, cotton or rayon blends, and mohair or even alpaca blends are equally nice.  Mohair effects the look of the blankets, making it a fuzzier feel and less defined colors.  All tied yarns will be all available materials, including synthetics, for that is how you get your sparkle! 

In terms of sparkle and eyelash, custom orders can specify no eyelash or no obvious metallics.

Allergies can also be worked with, though it may drive the price up depending on the allergy.  Babies blankets are done in materials that are not scratchy for babies skin. 

Custom sizes can be ordered in any of these colors.  Custom sizes  can generally be completed with an 8-12 week delivery date:

Laguna Blues

The base yarn is a peacock-turquoise blue for this blanket, complimented with pinks, greens, teals, purples and deep blue.  Eyelash, sequins, and the occasional metallic remind Katie of summer fun as a kid.  Katie was raised in Laguna Beach, California.  Gently hand wash and air dry. 

bullet

Carmel Ocean Greens

Turquoise green is the base for this blanket, with purples, blues, and greens in eyelash and metallics.  Evocative of the emerald tidepools, it has small surprising touches of orange and blood-red starfish!

bullet

San Francisco Nightlife

Brilliant cobalt blue dazzles the eye, and it is the base for colors of bright limes, purples, turquoises and greens (no tame pale colors here!).  Metallics and eyelash sizzle, with more than a few surprises!!  A favorite city, known for its nightlife and its location!  This blankets is electric, and is photographed in different light trying to catch the colors!

bullet

NYC Sizzle

Black wool (what else?) is mixed with varying shades of black (only a New Yorker would know there are shades of black!) and grey.  Silver eyelash and designer metallic yarn with touches of sequins make this a night-on-the-town cozy blanket!  (Both photos are accurate, but lighting changes this blanket lots!)  Gentle machine washing is possible, but who has the time?  Who has a machine in the city?  It is so easy to drop it off at the cleaners, really, so why wouldn't you?

bullet

Baby Blues

Pale baby blue wool is the backdrop for this colorway of childhoos pastels of yellows, pinks and greens.  Equally sweet with pink or yellow as a base color.  (Sorry, but this blue really washed out in the photos!)

bullet

Seattle

Prussian blue acts as a base for a mixture of green, blues, roses, and purples, with bits of metallics shining through and lots of lash.  This blanket is fitting for an ocean city in a forest!

bullet

Mik's Retro Lime

Made special order, this king-size blanket is not for the timid.  Wild retro lime wool is the base and turquoise, saffron, goldenrod  and greens make a spectacular riot of color.  Shown as a slipcover for the Rambler.   Mitchell's favorite blanket!

bullet

Santa Monica

Santa Monica was home for Katie when she practiced corporate architecture, and this blanket was inspired by those days.  City colors of charcoal gray  is the base yarn, with a surprise of cobalt blue thread running alongside it!  The tied blanket yarn has every color blue, with touches of bright colors - claret, sea foam green, apple red, lime, and purple!   Stunning!

bullet

Night Forest

A soft blend of mohair and wool base in a midnight blue-purple is mixed with greens, roses, and other colors of the Oregon forests.  Inspired by trips to the Jedadiah Redwood Forest near on the Oregon/California border in late evening, this blanket is soft and cozy and too beautiful to believe!
