Heritage Paints by Stevanie Pico from Sock Summit



The new Heritage Paints colors designed by Stevanie Pico are finally in the warehouse!  Her unique sense of color created 5 beautiful new colorways for our Heritage Paints.  In conjunction with Abundant Yarns and Dyeworks, we had a naming contest for the new colors at the Sock Summit.  There were a ton of entries to decide between.  Some of the colorways had more than 100 entries for them, so it was a very difficult choice.


So the winners are....
9907 - Seattle Blues - Nela Cumming
9906 - Wild Honey - Kirsti McElligot
9903 - Sage Honey - Chirstine Collins
9904 - Briar Rose - Lesley Duckworth
9905 - Desert Adobe - Aleen Caplan Yamasaki
