Hue Loco Apple Pie, Oh My! Yarn Review
The Apple Pie, Oh My preorder collection by Hue Loco is open from September - November 2026
If you love crisp fall mornings, trips to the apple orchard, and coming home and maybe baking a yummy apple pie, this one’s for you.
The Hue Loco Apple Pie, Oh My! Collection is a fall-inspired yarn collection created for knitters and crocheters who love the colors and simple pleasures of apple season. I got a chance to explore this yarn collection early and it feels so sweet. There’s something extra special about having a first yarn look that captures a season you’re just about to step into, and this one has me fully ready for Fall.
This collection is inspired by apple picking, crisp autumn air, warm spices, golden pastry, and all things apple. It gives cozy and nostalgic without feeling overly traditional. It’s a collection that feels like fall with added unexpected color combinations that make Hue Loco so much fun to knit with.
Featuring ten colorways, Honeycrisp, In Season, First Pick, Cider Press, Home Baked, Granny Smith, A Bushel and a Peck, Apple Stand, Pie Social, and Strudel, the collection is dyed across multiple bases, offering plenty of options to make pieces that are lightweight accessories to cozy F/W 2026 garments.
This palette captures seasonality without relying entirely on the usual reds, oranges, and browns. There are plenty of warm shades, but they’re balanced with greens, pinks, plums, and cooler tones that give the collection color pop. Honeycrisp is a juicy tonal that layers pumpkin, blush pink, and deep wine red hues over a sultry mulberry base. In Season is a rich, spiced apple red semisolid with crimson undertones and slight tonality throughout. First Pick combines rosy red with leafy green, golden tones, sangria, and deep ivy speckles. Cider Press brings true freshly pressed cider-like hues with luminous peach-orange and cinnamon tones.
Home Baked feels nostalgic, combining dried sage, petal pink, and white with caramel, sangria, and deep teal speckles. Granny Smith brings the perfect bright, fresh green into the collection with celadon, limeade, and light apple tones. A Bushel and a Peck blends sea foam, grasshopper green, ochre, and soft coral, while Apple Stand is a weathered green semisolid with muted sage undertones. Pie Social brings together deep plum, sangria, gold ochre, and pear green over a cool slate grey base. And what I think is especially for my girlies, like me, who love a good foundational neutral - Strudel grounds the collection with warm brown, taupe, and golden caramel tones.
Whether you’re knitting a sweater, mini shawl, large scarf, or an autumn-ready beanie, this collection embraces the cozy feeling of fall making. The colors are interesting enough to carry a simple project while also offering a range to explore and combine several shades in stripes, complex colorwork, or cables. I could easily see one of the deeper colorways becoming a beautiful statement sweater, while the softer greens and warm neutrals would make nice everyday pieces.
The collection is available in a variety of yarn bases, including Baby Suri, Mohair, Merino Sock, Phyllis Sock, Single Sock, Spun Sock XL, DK, Worsted, Aran, and Bulky. I love the idea of mixing different bases within the collection. Holding a mohair or Baby Suri with one of the heavier wool bases could add even more color dimension colors, while the sock-weight options would be beautiful for accessories or lightweight garments.
This collection offers great color story alongside wonderful storytelling. I keep thinking about this season’s first trip to an orchard, then to an apple stand, the cider press, and finally coming home to bake something warm, and it makes me happy. The collection feels connected, where I don’t have to overthink it and instead can truly slow down, pick a project, and enjoy the season through my stitches.
The Apple Pie, Oh My! preorder opened on September 4 and runs on about a 4-6 week turnaround time. Individual skeins start at 30.00 usd depending on the yarn base. Hue Loco is also offering a mini set for 92.00 usd, a 50s set for 170.00 usd, and a full set starting at 300.00 usd for makers who want to embrace and experience more of the collection at once.
If you love fall knitting, colorful yarn with a strong seasonal story, and palettes that feel a little different from the traditional autumn color wheel, this collection is definitely worth a look. It’s warm, nostalgic, playful, and offers colors to easily start planning your next fall project - complete with everything apple.
