Pantone Challenge 2026: Spinning and knitting a Cloud Yarn (I guess?)

Hello friends! Pantone has done it again: they have named a new colour of the year. And in true me fashion we're going to spin a yarn and then knit a piece of headgear, a head accessory with the new colour. Uhm... This year's colour is white however. Or, well, Cloud Dancer. The exact colour of white sheep's wool. So how do we tackle a Pantone Colour Challenge when Pantone has taken away the colour? Texture! I try spinning a lopi or unspun yarn, but end up with textural bulky singles yarn, which is a win in my book too. I knit a pussy hat with it, because while Pantona wants us all to be calm and collected in these here time, I think being rebellious is actually a better idea.
