If you haven’t seem them before every now and then I take a deep dive through Ravelry and look at whats new and knit in the yarns we sell. We do a lot of recommending and yarn substituting every day in the shop and here on the blog so it’s nice every now and then to look at just the right yarn.
My last Recommended Yarn post was back in May 2024 so I’m well overdue for another one. If you are curious about the others search Recommended Yarn on the blog and it will bring up others in the series. The only criteria I have for these blog posts is that they contain new designs, that is designs that have been published since I last did a post. So since May last year I had quite a few to sift through. All pattern links link to Ravelry.com so take a look and be inspired.
The Violeta Wrap by Catherine Madjaric. This little crochet wrap has been created to give you the framework to experiment with your own design. Laid out with pattern notes, diagrams and hints and tips to allow you to create your own version. Compromising of an open mesh crochet stitch in a floaty yarn for a light wispy layer.
Crocheted in Fyberspates Cumulus a lace weight, 74% Baby Suri Alpaca 26% Mulberry Silk. It is as light weight as the clouds! Cumulus’ soft touch really is amazing, it has to be felt to be believed.
Cotton Candy Bow by Amy Giles. This sweet but simple bow is created by knitting two pieces and the bow like structure is made by sewing the pieces together which are then attached to a hair band. Knit with two strands held together at quite a tight gauge creates a fabric with structure.
