New Gentle Giant Colors!
Our Gentle Giant yarn is a big, scrumptious skein of merino goodness. And now that it’s available in six new colors, there’s even more to love!
In subtle contrast to Gentle Giant’s original palette of soft, tweedy Heathers, our new colors are statement-making Solids. On this loosely spun single ply yarn, these clear washes of color are absolutely luminous! Meet them…
On the warm end of the spectrum, we introduce Clay Pot, a rich and rusty terracotta; Orange Koi, an eye-catching orange with a good dose of warm red; and Cowrie Pink, a beautiful warm and beachy pink.
And on the cool side of things, we have Silver Mauve, a quiet neutral with a pretty lavender glow; Iceberg Blue, a crystal clear pale blue; and Mint Ice, a refreshing, chilly green.
And when you add these new arrivals to our existing Gentle Giant collection, the whole palette feels like a walk, down from the mountains, through the valley fields, across to the ocean’s shore. It touches on nature’s most beautiful notes: its flora and fauna, sea and sky, tiny details and broad strokes.
Choose your favorite color, old or new, to knit up our free Lattice Brioche Scarf pattern. It’s beautiful in Clay Pot, but it’s hard to go wrong! Browse our entire Gentle Giant collection and cast on!

Hi Anne,
Thanks for the request! We will keep it in mind for future projects!

Hello! I am trying to match a very specific color and was wondering if there are any samples of these delicious yarns? I’ve learned the hard way that relying on computer screen colors isn’t always the best way to buy expensive yarns! I will be ordering at least 10-12 skeins of the yarn if it’s a match. Thanks!
Hi Julia,
Thanks for the question! Unfortunately we don’t have sample cards for our yarns. Maybe in the future though!

I would also love a more detailed tutorial, please! The pattern is beautiful but very complicated (for me).
Hi Mika,
Thanks for writing in! Can you tell us what pattern you have a question for? We are happy to try to help!
Best,
Cassy
The pattern for my shawl says the first color is Cowrie Pink. I bought the 40 color package but it does not contain that color. 8 other colors on the pattern are also not in the 40 color package. I did not want to choose my own colors…I just wanted to follow the pattern as pictured. Help?
Hi Wanda,
I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t been able to find that color! It sounds like you’re using the 40-color bundle of Linen Quill Minis for a pattern that was designed for one of the 20-color bundles. I’m afraid that the 40-color bundle doesn’t contain exactly the same colors as either of the 20-color bundles…it’s its own palette! If you want to follow the colors of the shawl you’re making exactly, then I’d recommend getting the specific 20-color bundle that it was designed for.
I hope this helps clear things up, but please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
All the best,
Lili
