Is Orange the New Black?

Orange might be declared the new black in the run-up to Halloween. I think orange is a great colour to accessorize a black outfit. An orange hat is especially fitting in the fall.

I was just on the search for stretch knit fabric to sew more beanies and headbands. I picked five colours and, at the last minute, added orange. All six fabric pieces are made of bamboo rayon, cotton, and spandex. Some are backed with fleece, others French Terry, and the orange one has the same smooth surface back and front.

To add to my headwear collection for upcoming fall markets, I sewed up a beanie and two headbands. The burnt orange says warmth and comfort. It’s definitely not the new black to me.
