Babs has been working on developing the PERFECT color for a long, long time, and today, April 1, seems like an excellent day to reveal it!
Discerning knitters will appreciate the subtle color shifts, which look almost magical in some lights! Because of the way dye is applied, this beautiful new Babette will never pool or flash, and with this super-special color there is no need to alternate skeins.
We love how the colors blend and pop! Amazingly, Babs somehow managed to take all the things we love about her colors and blend them harmoniously into one single colorway. Bold in some lights, understated in others, the Emperor's New Color is perfect for everyone.
Here at the studio, everyone has a different favorite colorway, a different set of colors towards which they gravitate, but each and every one of us has fallen hard for the Emperor's New Color.
Since we expect demand to be high, we want to allow Babs a few more days to dye sufficient stock, but look for the Emperor's New Color to be added to the website by the end of the week!!
Because of the intense amount of detailed work involved in dyeing the Emperor's New Color, we are going to have to charge twice the normal amount per skein... but we know you'll agree that this special, perfect color is worth it!
By the way...have a wonderful April Fool's Day!!!

Good one. LOL! I was thinking, “the new color is ‘clear’.” I was close!
The Emperor’s New Color. Well played.
Can’t stop laughing! Thanks for the stomach muscle workout.
Too funny! I will be sure to get a couple of hanks in Nashville. Love you.
Miss Babs, you have achieved the ultimate in color theory and optics. It is, truly, EVERY color in the universe, contained in one fluffy, soft, astoundingly practical yet endlessly playful product.
Not just funny but a great intro to a new page for me.
This made me laugh out loud, which I don’t do often enough! Thanks!
WOW!!! In some pics I see white and gold! Others I see black and blue!! ;)
Great laugh for the day. That’s why I love Miss Babs :)
I LOVE a good April Fool’s joke! And the emperor’s new clothes is definitely a good one!
