Lately, I've been playing with gray. Yesterday, it was gray + brown, today it's gray + purple, and tomorrow it's a gray + blue, though that one is much lighter in shade.
Meet Aubrine, a smoky, purpley gray.
I've been looking at baby names for a few months now and I really like names that start with Au - Audrey, Auberon, and August. Then there's Aubrey, which is a family name - one of my grandfather's brothers. Since this yarn is sort of almost an eggplant purple, I combined Aubrey with aubergine and got Aubrine.
Now this is my kind of purple. Or gray. However you want to look at, I dig it. I would love to make a scarf with this colorway, to go with my dark gray coat.
This one will be in the shop on Thursday - more details to come here on the blog tomorrow & through the newsletter, plus the usual social spots.
Oh Gosh! what a color! Nutbaby was "wow" but this is stunning! Awaiting your shop update so much Maya i can't tell ;)

oh god woman - you're killing me over here!
although now that i think about it, being killed by amazingly gorgeous yarn doesn't seem like a bad way to go...

I just have to say it again - that is one gorgeous shade. My wallet will be glad I won't be within Internet range for the update. ;)
