Color Through the Seasons: February

February has a reputation for being cold, but to me it feels like the beginning of the end of winter. The season is still very present, yet the days are slowly stretching longer, quietly hinting at what’s ahead. It’s a month that invites us to lean into a little extra warmth—both physically and emotionally—and to find comfort in familiar rituals again after the holidays, like settling in with a favorite knitting project.

The colors of the month reflect that same feeling. They’re filled with cozy reds, gentle pinks, rich fuchsias, soft peaches, and grounding cranberry tones — shades that feel good to hold, good to wear, and comforting to return to again and again. They’re romantic without being over-the-top, playful without losing their sense of calm. Truly some of the best shades… though I may be a little biased, since it is my birthday month.

Cozy Reds, Soft Pinks, and the Warmth We Crave

The Valentine Mini Skein Set captures that balance beautifully. With red, pink, baby pink, natural, light purple, and purple, this palette feels classic and wearable, softened just enough to make it perfect for everyday knitting. It’s ideal for small colorwork details, cozy socks, or any project where you want warmth without loud contrast.

For something a little bolder, the Lipstick Mini Skein Set leans into rich, confident color. Cranberry, magenta, sugarcoated, cinnamon, cayenne, and plum come together in a palette inspired by lipstick shades and warm spices. These colors feel expressive and powerful, perfect for knitters who love statement projects and high-impact color combinations.

The Spicy Colors Mini Skein Set brings warmth with a playful twist. Carrot, melon, paprika, soft peach, mist, and shallot create a palette that feels energetic but still cozy. There’s a sense of joy in these colors, especially in the way the brighter tones are balanced by softer, grounding shades. It’s a wonderful choice for adding life to winter knitting without feeling heavy.

February is also the heart of sock season, and this month’s sock sets are designed with comfort, color, and joy in mind. The Valentine Red Sock Set features a rich Valentine red with flecks of red and white, paired with coordinating mini skeins in solid red and white for a timeless, cozy finish. The Valentine Pink Sock Set brings a playful twist, with the perfect Valentine pink scattered with flecks of red, blue, and purple, paired with coordinating mini skeins in medium purple and white for a soft but expressive contrast. The Candy Heart Pink Sock Set rounds out the collection with that classic candy heart pink, paired with solid pink and white minis for a cheerful, comforting knit.

For knitters who love a little movement and play in their projects, the Stripey sock sets bring extra energy to February knitting. The Red Stripey pairs red, pink, and yellow for a bold, joyful look, while the Pink Stripey combines pink, white, and marigold for a lighter, sunnier take on winter color.

I love playing with these color combinations though, so keep an eye on the website—new sets are most likely going to pop up as the month unfolds.

February may be short, but it’s rich with feeling. It’s a reminder that warmth doesn’t have to be loud and that small, thoughtful moments—like choosing a color palette you love and settling in to knit—can make the season feel lighter. Whether you’re knitting a gift, starting something new, or finally treating yourself to a project just for you, these February colors are here to carry you through the rest of winter with comfort, creativity, and joy.
