I had promised you more #grannies from our Festival of #Wool & #Yarn. The square-bags were new, but I suspect the horrible shades of orange and brown are original 1970s. 🤭
We had a big hype with grannies in the 1960/70s, first with colourful fancy #hippie #fashion, then in the typical colours of rubbish bins (in the early 1970s, everything had that dirty orange: bins, coffee-machines, skirts, wall-papers). @fiberarts

@akamran Yeah, you have these fancy names! 🤣 I called them all "dirty *colourname*". And hated especially one skirt in a mixture of very big patterns in these colours. When standing in front of our wall paper (same patterns!), I suddenly vanished with half of my body. 😱 🥶 🤣

@NatureMC that is making me dizzy! I can't imagine living with that wallpaper 🥴

@akamran My uncle had something similar as a living room. 😎
Nowadays, I ask myself if it was a cheap ersatz for the meanwhile illegal psychedelic drugs.

@NatureMC @akamran a friend had a stripe detail running along the wall in their bedroom that was exactly these colors. Peak 70’s 🟧🟨🟫
