    How about Boysenberry ?

    I am wondering if I am the only crafter who is tired of the pastel, washed out drab color selection of most of the baby yarn’s on the market? Babies, of all ages, love bright colors and not all of those that we like to baby are infants now are they ? When are the yarn makers going to realize we want to see Baby yarn in some “FUNKY FUN” colors? Fun colors that are spun in the softest baby weight yarn and sold in big baby size one pound skeins with the vibrant colors of the youth of the NOW generation. Red Heart already has fabulous colors in their “With Love” worsted weight yarn. I would love to see that type color in baby yarn. Can us customers get a vote on that ?

    Maybe someone from the big yarn companies will see this and pass it along. I agree with you!

    Nice to meet you DorisAnn my name is Susan M J. I don't have 53 yrs of crocheting. I love doing small thing, laprobes, mats. You like granny squares ? I love them, have several books just all grannies and how to put together etc. Colors in soft baby yarn could be brighter. I dont do too much buying as my Donating crochet is given to me or I find NEW & at Sales. Im checking into that color thing. Nice your here. Check forums out, chat, and please share your lovely projects. Crochet Pal Susan M.J

    I'm with you, but then again, a lot of young parents are going traditional colours...so I guess what sells most. But it would be nice to have different choices....Unless one dyes them themselves.....happy crocheting.....

    Herschners has some nice colors in their "Herschners Afghan yarn. It is rated a "2". Nice for lighter weight adult clothing, as well as some prettier colors for a baby. Annalia

    Most yarn companies have a CONTACT US option on their websites. If enough people wrote asking for brighter, fun colors I bet it would make a difference.
