Madelinetosh Hue of the Moment

MadTosh already has a pretty extensive library of colors, but there's no such thing as too many colors. This is where Hue of the Moment comes in. Each month they'll debut a new hand-dyed shade (or shades!), it'll live on this page, and it'll be here for a short time before it goes away.

Each month, we'll have the Hue of the Moment available in both Twist Light (Plied 75% SW Merino, 25% Nylon; 420 yards / 100 grams), and Tosh Merino Light (Single-ply 100% SW Merino, 420 yards / 100 grams).

• July 2025 - Scoop Du Jour. Splaaattt! That $8 cone of mango cassis & creme brulee-cherry is on the sidewalk, oozing with disappointment and stifled expletives. Sure makes a sweet yarn though.
• June 2025 - Dill With It. June's hue celebrates the condiment that makes everything better. A garden-fresh green with a tangy twist. Think baby cucumbers, backyard brine, and full-sour energy. Hey y'all, this gherkin's twerkin'!
• May 2025 - Cloudy with a Chance of Rainbows. Forecast calls for considerable cloudiness w/ intervals of prismatic optimism throughout the day. 10% percent chance of silver linings late afternoon, followed by periods of ROYGBIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet). A skein that's half stormy weather and half over the rainbow.
• April 2025 - Puddle Jumper. A soft blend of silver and sky blue with delicate flecks of pink and plum—like light bouncing off rain-soaked sidewalks. A silver cloud with a lipstick lining. Take the plunge!
  
• March 2025 - Shell Yeah. A moody sea, gulls calling. The happenstance gifts of tiny shells, a bit of sea glass, the soft ear of a baby in your arms who makes you sigh, Shell Yeah.
• February 2025 - Pizza My Heart. A heart-shaped pizza. Flowers wilting on a table. A tattered card in all its wrenching shades of pink, cherry, and doily. Happy Valentines (or Gallentines) Day!
• January 2025 - Natural Cover. The color of decay and renewal, of early morning coffee, twilight, & wiley does grazing on public land, hiding in plain sight. A little subversive. Inspired by camo. A new neutral for a new year.

• November 2024 - Plastic Flamingo. Tastes like chicken. Looks like neon. (Wink.) November’s Hue of the Moment is not your mother’s turducken.
• October 2024 - Schnitzelfaced. Fall face-first into a hoppy blend of German mustard, pretzels, and blue skies. This month’s Octoberfesty Hue of the Moment is a full on expression of bright lager, German mustard, damp lederhosen, and blue, October skies.

Mixing magentas and moody blues with dollops of gold, December's variegated HOTM evokes the magic behind closed doors of our very own color factory.
• November 2023 - Future Ex-Husband. This color started with a bunch of Team-Tosh sweater-curse stories, rueful laughter, and a color that gave of dude vibes. Future Ex-Husband mixes overgrown putting green and 30-year-old blue t-shirt with plenty of scorched earth that seems right right now.

• April 2023 - Pink Moon.  Named for April's full moon, which gets it's name from spring's moss phlox, this color asks us to step away from our screens and indulge in the beauty of the world.  Look for April's full moon on April 6th.
• March 2023 - Sans Regret.  This month's HOTM asks us to look at nuances.  To not just swing between this and that, but learn about what's in the middle.  Like Spring.  Perched between winter and summer, it's the place of longing, vibrance and life - all mixed into blustery and beautiful days.  No regrets, as we transition between grey shady days and yellow sunny ones, each containing multitudes, like this colorway.
• February 2023 - Kodama.  Anime has taken the world by storm!  So Madelinetosh turned to this Japanese art form for this month's color inspiration.  Meet Kodama - an herbaceous hue inspired by the winsome tree spirits from the anime masterwork, "Princess Mononoke."  Kodama are forest spirits that inhabit old trees and maintain the forest's natural balance.
• January 2023 - Weighted Blanket.  A Viva Magenta-adjacent color to ring in the New Year.  January's dreamy Hue of the Moment speaks to our deep exhaustion and profound need for rest during these complex times.  Soothe your nervous system, pick up hooks and needles, and feel the relief that comes from making.
• November 2022- Brace For Impact.  Inspired by comfort food, Brace For Impact is based on the all-important question, "What does it take to prepare for uncertainty?"  For us, it's a yearning for favorite tastes, and gathering around the table with those we love.  We hope you enjoy this lovely autumnal colorway as much as we do!
• July 2022- Mood Booster.   A bright hit of morning light, Zumba, and hugs from your coolest grandma rolled into one wavy colorway.  Serotonin in a skein!
