I don't know if I can pick just one favorite. I love blue and brown together. I also like brown, orange, and white and anything with shades of green (like yellow and green).

Lately lime green and bright purple are calling to me. . .even though I wouldn't wear a shirt those colors, I do love them! Recently I've been tie dying and have come up with some clown barf combinations, so really, my opinion is not one to rely on!

I love the greens and purples - the darker the better! I really enjoy subtle variations - it's so much fun to look at a finished work and watch the colors dance!

I've been loving pink and green and purple and green. I'm spinning a rosebud roving from Spunky Eclectic, and I love these colors together.

Lime green is my FAV! Love your newest batt too. I think you should call it Glitzy America or American Sparkle.

I love somewhat variegated warms and cools together--copper and yellow against teal and blue. Looks so neat! Thanks for the contest.

Jen (pieKnits) said...

That's a gorgeous batt. My fall back is usually black and red, but so hard to pick!

I love purple and teal together! I did some dyeing yesterday with wiltons & I'm loving the violet/teal/black combo even tho the colours broke :)

I'm a blue and green kinda girl. The richer the two colors, the better. There's a reason that I've painted rooms in blues and greens for the past 6 years.

OK, johannab from Rav here -and wow, I'd have to say that ice blue and hot red is my favourite colour THIS instant - I like how it pops!

For a couple of years now, though, it's been lime/chartreuse and fuschia together. Inspired by a tiny flower arrangement of a two Gerberas in a jar lined with lime green gravel that I got at the funkiest little florist. I've decided those are the colours for the table arrangements should I ever have a wedding, I particularly love them set against a charcoal or pewter backdrop.

wow, so many colors to chose from to say "favorite", but I always gravitate to a fall combo of sage green and plum, with hints of rust and gold.

Thanks for letting us play!

Erica said...

aw Jenna, you are the best! This is an awesome batt! Hope you are enjoying your Friday:-)

Liz said...

Favorites? My favorite color is purple but for spinning, I usually gravitate toward the natural colors. I love the look of natural gray, off-white and white, browns and even black.

When I do spin color, it's usually purples and greens, stuff like that.

adrienne said...

I LOVE that batt! It reminds me of popsicles, the rocket shaped ones. So summery.

Everyone has suggested so many awesome colour combinations. One that I really like, but don't often see, is mint green and grey. Or light grey and yellow.

That is so beautiful!

I really like purple and mustard or chartreuse together at the moment, although everyone else in the world probably thinks it looks like vomit...

Tom said...

Interesting combination. I hope that whoever wins this posts what it's spun up as.

As for beer and fiber, it's not the most ideal combination when spinning-that would be a gin martini. Or maybe it just makes you feel better about what you're (not) doing.

I'd be curious what attracted you to this one.

Josiane said...

I've just saw your post in Ravelry's forum, and had to follow the link... that batt is beautiful! It reminds me of a fiery sunset, with its strikes of red on a blue and white "clouds in the blue sky" backgroud. Thanks for offering a chance at winning it!
As for my favorite colour combo, I'd say pretty much any colour with brown. If I had to choose, I may say brown and blue.
Have a great weekend!

lousli said...

Hi! Beautiful fiber! I never win things like this, but I figure the only way to win is to keep trying, lol.

I love a dusky peach with a soft raspberry red combo. I am LucyJ on Ravelry

instantkarma said...

Hey! I got here by way of Craftster. :)
My favorite color combinations are as follows:
+ Deep purple and green
+ Brown and green
+ Brown and turquoise
+ Any other combinations of blue, purple, brown and green.
However, if I had to pick a favorite...probably brown and green, because I wear that combination the most.
Have a good one!

What a great idea and a lovely batt!

I think my favorite is blue and brown, but there are so many great combos out there, it's impossible to choose!

I love pink and brown. Or green and blue. Or blue and brown. Or purple and green. I guess I just like color.

I have a thing for delphinium blue. It's a blue that has a glow of purple in the background. Mix it with a buttery yellow and my knees go all weak.

My fave color combo right now is gunmetal blue/gray and silvery light gray. I've dyed several skeins up using these two and can't seem to get enough of it.

That's such a pretty batt! I found your link while drooling at the Crafster boards.

My favourite at the moment is duck egg blue with raspberry reddish pink - great colours for summer.

I love night sky colors: midnight blue, black, silver, and white.

Sunset colors are beautiful, too: reds, pinks, oranges, purples, and deep blues (fading one into the next)

I also like "fiesta" inspired colors: pinks, jade green, turquoise, yellows, oranges, purples.
