The beauty of winter is in the little moments—like lacing up a pair of ice skates and stepping out onto a frozen lake. This photograph, with its crisp, icy details and pops of color, perfectly captures winter charm. The red mittens against her coat and the snowy white ice, paired with the muted grays and blacks of her jeans, inspired me to create the Lakeside Laces Yarn Color Palette. It’s a cozy, classic combination of colors perfect for winter projects that bring to life the joy of frosty days.

The colors in this palette bring the scene to life. A bold, warm red mirrors the vibrant mittens, adding energy and warmth. Soft white and pale gray reflect the icy tones of the frozen surface, while medium and dark grays evoke the texture of her jeans and the frost-covered lake. A deep black ties everything together, grounding the palette with contrast and sophistication. These hues work beautifully together, creating a balanced mix of warm and cool.
