Six Exclusive Color Stories. One Extraordinary Blanket.

Make 2027 a year of color, creativity, and beautiful knitting with Life's Rich Tapestry, the NORO Blanket Knit-Along designed by Gayle Bunn.

This spectacular blanket celebrates everything we love about NORO—extraordinary color transitions, unexpected combinations, and the beautiful interplay of self-striping and solid yarns.

At KnittyGrittyYarnGirl, we've done the color planning for you! We've created six exclusive, thoughtfully curated color combinations featuring NORO Silk Garden and Silk Garden Solo. Each complete kit includes all 16 skeins needed to knit your blanket.

All you have to do is choose the color story that speaks to you!

Choose Your Color Story

1. Moroccan Sunset

Warm, vibrant, and wonderfully dramatic! Rich terracotta and copper mingle with brilliant turquoise, while accents of berry, plum, and charcoal add depth and intrigue. A bold palette inspired by colorful marketplaces and spectacular sunsets.

2. Golden Harvest

A celebration of warmth and color! Golden wheat, soft sage, cheerful coral, and touches of rose and lavender come together in a palette reminiscent of sun-drenched fields and autumn afternoons.

3. Electric Garden

For knitters who love color without compromise! Brilliant fuchsia, turquoise, and cobalt blue mingle with softer multicolored shades, creating a lively combination that's playful, unexpected, and unmistakably NORO.

4. Rosewood Romance

Sophisticated with a playful twist! Earthy taupe, creamy ivory, and muted rose create a beautiful neutral foundation, while a vibrant splash of pink adds personality and charm. An elegant balance of subtlety and surprise.

5. Midnight Garden

Rich, mysterious, and beautifully expressive. Deep indigo, violet, and lavender provide a dramatic backdrop for touches of pink, green, and soft blue. A jewel-toned combination that brings a little magic to every stitch.

6. Watercolor Dreams

Soft, artistic, and full of delightful surprises! Gentle ivory and lavender meet splashes of coral, rose, aqua, and golden yellow. A colorful composition reminiscent of a watercolor painting coming to life.
