Then we started discussing the crazy popularity of the Fifty Shades
of Grey books. Seems like half the world has read them and they've been
on the New York Times Best Sellers list forever. At some point, a
lightbulb went on! We could do a series of colors to tie into them. We
finally decided that we'd do five colors that each had 10 different
shades of grey. Hence, 50 Skeins of Grey. Let me introduce them to you.
This is Anastasia. She is the palest and she blushes a little towards the purple.
Christian dances on the greener side of grey.
Charlie Tango kisses the brown edge.
Mrs. Robinson can be a little blue.
And Red Room is, well, reddish.
We'll be shipping these to your LYS after the Thanksgiving holiday.
We're dyeing them in all of our yarn bases. You can buy your favorite
character/color or get alll five bundled together with a leather strap!

I love this idea! I haven't read the books (and probably never will) but I love puns. I've been saying 50 Skeins of Grey for a few weeks. It's catchy! :)
What'd you think of the first book? I was in-between I liked it and I really liked it on Goodreads.
This is a really fun idea for some pretty grays!
Love these!
Where can I buy these?!?
Are these limited edition?
You can buy them at jimmybeanswool.com.
Gorgeous yarn! I want to buy some, but I can't seem to decide which color scheme I like best. Do you have photos online of any swatches or projects knitted with the 50 skeins collection? Thanks!
I love this idea. Fun!!! And perfect for me to knit a scarf for each of my closest friends of whom have read/enjoyed the books!!! Giddy up!!!
