Springtime always brings such a sense of renewal and joy, and Easter, with its pastel colors, blooming flowers, and sweet treats shared with loved ones, is no exception. This Easter Tea and Cookies yarn color palette was inspired by this delightful photograph of a tea service, whimsical sugar cookies, and a soft palette of pinks, greens, and blues. The gentle pastels in this photograph immediately sparked a vision for a yarn palette perfect for springtime creativity.
The colors in this palette reflect the sweetness (pun intended) of the Easter tea setting. From the crisp white of the tablecloth to the rosy pinks of the dishware, the tones are soft and inviting. The pale green and soft blue echo the pastel eggs and delicious cookies. Together, these shades form a dreamy palette that’s ideal for projects that celebrate spring.
For this palette, I’ve chosen Paintbox Yarns in their Simply Aran and Cotton Aran lines. The cotton option is perfect for lightweight, transitional wearable items like baby sweaters, spring shawls, or even crochet market bags. The acrylic yarn, on the other hand, lends itself wonderfully to cozy blankets—think cheerful lapghans or large pastel throws to brighten your living space. It’s also ideal for creating charming home décor items, such as Easter-themed pillows or bunting.
Whether you’re knitting a baby blanket, crocheting a table runner, or crafting a sweater for yourself, the Easter Tea and Cookies palette captures the joy and tenderness of the season. These soft, harmonious colors are sure to bring the essence of Easter into your handmade creations, making them as heartfelt as they are beautiful.
