Yarns

Scarf1


Can we talk about the different kinds of yarns out there these days? Oh my gosh. You haven't lived until you have tried crocheting with all of the cool fibers the yarn companies are coming out with. (I like to make scarves out of the bamboo and nylon sock yarns.) I love to try new yarns in my crochet pieces. I would love to hear all about your adventures with the new yarns, too.

And the colors! Can we talk about the colors? The neutrals, the dark colors, the neon colors, the pastels, and the hand-dyed yarns, the choices go on and on.

Just when you think you have seen them all, the yarn companies come out with more new and unusual yarns. Did you ever think that you could crochet with bamboo, wood, shellfish, nylon; the list goes on and on.
