Newest yarn from Berroco! Indigo is a 100% recycled cotton yarn that's machine washable. This yarn is perfect for everyone in the family! We made two car seat blankets from the booklet Car Seat Blankets by Leisure Arts, and still had enough yarn left over to make booties or a hat!
Oh Snip! We just got in a shipment of new scissors! We have lots to choose from, including foldable scissors for travel, thread snips, finger snips and the knife-edge scissors - super sharp scissors that will cut through paper and cloth accurately!
Easy Cowl! We have a super simple pattern for you this week, that works for many yarns! On the left we used Lady Dye Yarns Worsted, and on the right is Lana Gatto Class. The pattern is knit in the round, alternating 6 knit rounds with 6 purl rounds. All you need to change is the number you cast on and the needle size and you have a great looking cowl for yourself or to give! Pattern is free with purchase of yarn.
