Wilsons of Bannockburn Colors

[davidlpope]

Matt,

Thanks for making this resource available. I feel very fortunate that you and Peter MacDonald have worked with Dalgliesh to make this palette available once again. The revival of this color scheme is largely due to your efforts.

I do have to ask, though- has Dalgliesh gotten better about consistently identifying these particular shades as WOB colors? My personal experience has been that the mill has not always been clear that a particular yarn shade is the official "Wilsons' Blue" or "Wilsons' Yellow". It seems that there has been confusion between their "in-house color names" (i.e. moss green), the shades ID'd by Peter as representative of WOB, and the numbers assigned after acquisition by Scotweb.

Suffice it to say, David, that both Peter and myself are now able to specify by yarn color number the precise shades we require when reproducing the Wilson colors.

But then again, this is more art than science... :-)

Good information to know and an excellent question posed by David.

Cheers gents,

And you get to order by such wonderful names! I'd be tempted to design something just so I could explain, "Oh yes, thanks, that's madder, bloom, drab, and shade green. . ."

I believe a kilt in Wilsons of Bannockburn colors would be very nice to have. Now to decide whether Forrester or Douglas .......

I puled the trigger on WoB colors in a Clan Chattan about 2 months ago.....5 months left to wait......I ordered both Kilt and vest...and may add argyle hose to the order....Go big or go home right? But honestly, from what I've seen....the WoB colors are amazing!

Now I just need to save up for a Farquharson in the same.
