Simply Soft Purples and Blues Temperature Scale

You’re looking at a new feature on my blog. I usually publish temperature scales that are directly connected to a project. This one isn’t. In this post you’ll find a Simply Soft purples and blues temperature scale. Well, two actually. Since they’re not connected to a project you can mix and match them to the project you want.

 

 

 

 

 

Colors

For these scales I wanted to use something a little different than the ones I have in the past. When I was choosing these colors I was drawn to purples and blues. Once I had decided on the colors I tried to see what yarn lines gave me lots of choices.

Caron Simply Soft seemed to fit the bill because it had a LOT of purples and blues. I wanted a pretty varied blanket, so I wanted to have several temperature slots. The final number I settled on was 9 colors with one filler. I needed the filler since I was planning a Corner to Corner blanket for it.

I had lots of colors in mind, but my local Joann isn’t really well stocked. It’s a pretty small store. Plus the Joann stores around here seem to not like yarn crafters very much since they don’t ever have much yarn period. But I digress. I did manage to find several colors that fit the bill

 

Fahrenheit Scale

I actually bought my yarn for a project based on my local temperatures. However, I wanted to put that scale with the project I’m making. Instead I decided to make a scale for another location for this post.

My “little” brother visited Montana just a week or so ago. In honor of that, I decided on a city from there to make a scale. I’m not well-versed in Montana geography so I just picked a city I’ve heard of, Billings.

 

 

Celsius Scale

I wanted to make sure to include a Celsius scale for my smaller but still valued international audience. My mind has been drawn to Scotland for various reasons lately. So it sounds like a good place to do a temperature scale for.

Both my husband and I have Scottish blood in us somewhere. Mine is a bit drowned out by Irish and German I think. However my husband is the one with the Scottish last name. My maiden name is Italian I think. I’m not very familiar (no pun intended) with my heritage, can’t you tell? Anyway. I looked up where the Clan MacLaren was originally from and decided to use that for my temperatures. (Random note: we spell our name McLaren but pronounce it MUH-Klaren.)

 

 

Conclusion

So there you have it! A scale each for the Fahrenheit and Celsius users. You can take these and tweak them with your temperatures and tastes. If you do use them, tag me on Instagram with @stitchinginthewoods or #stitchinginthewoods so I can see your beautiful projects!
