Behind the names: Noviembre

If you ask me my favorite season of the year, I'd have to say Spring. There is something definitely special about nature waking up after a cold winter, especially where it snows. However, even though I now live in Uruguay, I grew up way up North, in Sweden. And like for other countries in the North, (and more so if you happen to live nearby a forest, like I did) Autumn is just spectacular.

The different hues of color that trees and leaves take are breathtaking, whether they are still on the trees or building piles on the sidewalk. I have fond memories of playing in those leaves and taking the most beautiful ones I could find home to make collages or paintings. Noviembre is a colorway inspired by November landscapes, when it's Autumn in the North. It comes in Malabrigo Yarn Lace, Malabrigo Yarn Worsted, and Malabrigo Yarn Chunky.
