The different colors of the squares represent the changes in the climate from an average temperature between 1895-2021. Beige is the average, blues are-2F to -4F, greens are -0.5F to -1F, yellow and orange +1F, reds +2 to +4F. This information came from the University of Reading UK climate stripes research. https://showyourstripes.info/s/globe I changed the colors as most yarn doesn't come in seven shades of blue and red.
