New Colors of Gentle Giant!
Named for its soft texture and oversize stitches, Gentle Giant is all optimism and light, and this season we’re introducing six new colors that match its exuberance!
Among the new colors are retina-scorching Super Pink and Super Yellow, above. True neons, we love throwing a Super in with almost anything else for an unexpected blast of color. Also pictured above, Parakeet Yellow is, for us, the ultimate shade of yellow, not too lemony, not too gold, just perfectly sunny.
The three other new colors are Rose Violet, Sugar Maple, and Honey Amber, at the bottom of the stack above. Rich and saturated, they’re especially spicy and warm, and they make us feel happy just being around them!
We dipped into this palette to reconsider our classic Color Tipped Scarf. Originally in Worsted Twist, we love them now in big, playful Gentle Giant in blazing colors goes a long way, especially on a gray day.
But scarves are just one of the projects that lend themselves to this eminently cozy yarn. Check out our entire gallery of free Gentle Giant projects and rewrite your own color story!
And be sure, also, to browse our collection of all 21 Gentle Giant colors, wonderful for mixing and matching!
Hello, I was wondering if there was a pattern for the chunky cowl pictured in the gentle giant colours? Thanks!
Hi Lindsay,
Thanks for writing in! The lovely scarf that is pictured above the Color Tipped Scarf!
Happy knitting!

I love the new colors in this yarn. Can you suggest some additional blanket patterns on the easy-to-medium skill level that include the six new colors?
Hi Dee,
Thanks for writing in and for your kind words! You could certainly incorporate these fun new colors into our some of our Gentle Giant blankets; Granny Square Blanket or the Colorful Corner Blanket! Both of these are achievable blankets and would look great with the new colors!
I hope that this helps!

I’m interested in making a crib blanket with gentle giant yarn, is it washable?
Thank you,
Hi Kathy,
Thanks for reaching out! Gentle Giant can be hand washed and laid flat to dry.
Happy knitting!

Are these colors (parakeet yellow and super yellow specifically) going to be back in stock some day? I missed out on them unfortunately. Love the super pink sooo much!
Hi Aimee,
I’m so sorry to say that we’ve discontinued those colors of Gentle Giant! While we loved them, not everybody else felt the same way, so we’ve had to make the sad decision to stop producing them. We hope you can understand!
Apologies for the inconvenience, and please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. I hope that there may be some alternate colors of this yarn that catch your eye instead!
All the best,
Lili
