Amalfi Purple

Pictures don't do the Amalfi Coast in Southern Italy justice. With the Bougainvillea and colorful houses everywhere you look, it is hard to pick a color that can do this region justice. Tourists flock to this part of the world to gaze upon the stunning scenery and see every shade of purple, pink, and blue. Lilac (2562), violet (2520), and medium purple (2545) are the three colors included in Aurifil's Amalfi Color Builder Set.

Capri Teal

A small island not far from the Amalfi Coast is Capri. This stunning town is surrounded by the clear blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. This hotspot needs to be on everyone's bucket list because of its fantastic scenery, culture, and cuisine. Use this Capri, Color Builder Set from Auriful to help capture all the lovely shades of blue this island is known for. Colors include medium mint (2835), light jade (1148), and natural jade (4093).

Carrara Black/White

Anyone who knows anything about Italy knows how famous they are for their marble. But they might not know that it came from a little town along the coast of Italy. The Carrara's Marble Quarry is where they have been mining marble for centuries. The Pantheon and famous sculptors like Michelangelo all used this black, white, and grey marble. Arctic ice (2625), black (2692), and natural white (2021) are the three colors included in Aurifil's Carrara Color Builder Set.

Como Blue

Lake Como in Northern Italy is famous around the world for its beautiful blue waters. This glacier-fed lake has been home to aristocrats and wealthy people since ancient Roma times, and with the beautiful scenery, it's not hard to imagine why. Aurifil's Color Builder Set captures just a fraction of the colors in Lake Como with its dark navy (2784), medium blue (2735), and very light delft (2770) spools.

Dolomites Green

Stretching as far as the eye can see are the lush green fields of the Alpines with the Dolomites towering above in the distance. Every color green from the brightest emerald to the palest blade of grass is found in this region of northern Italy. Aurifil's Dolomite Set offers a small sample of these shades with their spearmint (2908), light leaf green (1147), and very dark grass green (2890) shades.

Florence Brown

Florence is rich in culture, architecture, and history. Tan buildings with terracotta roofs are the prevalent color scheme throughout the city. Everything from the Uffizi Gallery, the Galleria dell'Accademia, and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore all use these same shades. Since these tones are so popular, Aurifil decided to recreate this theme with its Florence Color Builder Set. Shades include ermine (2312), toast (6010), and chocolate(2360).

Milan Grey

With its amazing buildings and smartly dressed people, Milan has been famous for its monochromatic look for centuries. The cobblestone streets filled with the bustle of tourists exploring the ancient stone buildings are what makes this culturally-rich city so wonderful to explore. Aurifil's Milan, 3pc Color Builder Set includes the colors dove (2600), light blue grey (2610), and grey smoke (5004).

Pompeii Red

The Pompeii Thread Set tells the tragic story of the day the sky rained red on the people of Pompeii. Walking along the ancient pathways of this city, you will see the bright red stones that are all that's left of a once vibrant city. Colors include medium red (5002), burgundy (1103), and red (2250).

Sardinia Pink

This Color Builder, 3pc Thread Set from Auriful, was inspired by the beautiful, Spiaggia Rosa of Sardinia. From the rose-tinted shores of this island, you can gaze out on the sprawling turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Colors include pale pink (2410), bright pink (2425), and blossom pink (2530).

Sicily Yellow

Imagine standing on a balcony, gazing upon the ancient architecture in the distance, and inhaling the scent of citrus from the lemon trees below. This is the evocative image Aurifil brings to mind with their Color Builder 3pc Thread Set in Sicily Yellow. This bright, cheerful set includes a pale yellow (1135), champagne (2105), and lemon (2115).

Tuscany Orange

Famous for its rolling fields, wine, and fantastic food is Tuscany. This vibrant city features an array of hues that glow under the sun, turning everything into shades of orange and gold. Colors include golden honey (2214), bright orange (1133), and neon orange (1104).

Verona Mauve

"In fair Verona," is the most accurate quote you can give to this city in Northern Italy. Verona is home to the Arena di Verona and is also the setting for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The Verona Arena amphitheater was built in 30 AD, and it is still used to this day for concerts, operas, and plays. Originally built with pink and white limestone, it has faded to more neutrals colors in years past. Aurifil's Verona Color Builder Set focuses more on its current shades and features the colors moonshine (6724), antique blush(2375), and tiramisu (6731).
