Our collection of fingering weight wool yarn designed especially for Fair Isle and color work covers the entire range of the gradated color wheel with supporting neutrals and a full compliment of heathers to make your color work planning easier. Well, maybe not easier, since it's so hard to stop adding more and more colors to your selection! Don't forget to include one or two bright colors in your mix to give your design some "pop", and try combining heathers and solids together for a sophisticated interplay of colors. Palette is also excellent for very durable socks. Recommended for felting.

"Since I’ve discovered the joys of colorwork knitting, Palette has become my go-to yarn. It is softer than traditional colorwork wool, making it perfect for my itch-sensitive skin, but it’s still toothy enough to making stranding and steeking a breeze. Last fall I used it to make my first ever Fair Isle sweater, and this fall I’m hatching plans for lots of intricate two-color mittens."
-Melissa B., Knit Picks Art Director
"Palette is such a great yarn for stranded mittens. It's really cozy and soft and available in some seriously amazing colors." -Ann Marie, Knit Picks customer
"Apparently, Knit Picks Palette is kind of awesome for knitting colorwork. It's nice and sticky, and it blocks beautifully. Did I mention that when placed over a hot air vent, it seemed to block in about an hour? No? Well it did! This of course pleased me so very much!" -Marissa S., Knit Picks customer
“I just bought three of the Fair Isle totes sample packs, one of each color, and I can’t tell you how much I love them!!... The yarn is beautiful and soft, and knits like a dream. This is probably some of the best yarn I've ever knit with!!! I am sososososososo happy with this. Thank you so much for putting this pack together!!!!” April L., Knit Picks customer
