Coraline (wool bases)
This colorway is a weathered, desaturated pink-mauve, uneven in tone like the sun-bleached, rain-faded paint of the Pink Palace Apartments. Soft blushes and muted mauves fade into pale rose-beige patches, echoing the painted panels’ years of neglect. It’s this dilapidated fairytale setting that makes Coraline crave the brighter, more vivid, and more attentive universe she finds on the other side of the mysterious door she discovers in her new home.
This colorway pays tribute to the symbolic mundanity of the Pink Palace Apartments and the idea that sometimes the most dull and seemingly ordinary places are the richest soil for the seeds of the imagination. 🥹
🌸 On superwash bases, the mauves, pinks, and pale splotches are a little higher contrast, particularly on the bigger bases.
🌸 On non-superwash bases, the pink-mauve pales further, taking on a powdery, almost dusty quality, as though a bright fog has rolled in and blurred the subtleties into a mauve mist.
“Coraline” follows a curious young girl who discovers a hidden door in her new home, leading to a seemingly perfect “Other World” that mirrors her own—but with more attentive parents and magical wonders. However, Coraline soon realizes the Other Mother’s sinister intentions and must use her courage and cleverness to save herself, her real parents, and the souls of other trapped children before it’s too late.
Crafted by Portland-based stop-motion studio Laika, Coraline holds a special place in my heart, especially since I’ve called this city home for the past eight years. The film’s artistry never stops inspiring me, particularly as someone who runs a hand-dyed yarn business with my boyfriend, Colin. We’re both detail-oriented, creative, and hardworking, so I can deeply relate to the incredible care and precision the animators poured into bringing such an iconic film to life. “Coraline” is eerie, cleverly original, and a gorgeously weird staple of the 2000s era.
