New Yarn


So I was handed some awesome yarn from an awesome family member. She told me that she was unable to complete projects since her dogs were always trying to play with what she was making. I am excited to see what new things I can try with this yarn. I have made a project in the past that had "special" yarn in it (like the last one mentioned here), but usually I am only dealing with wool and acrylic yarn. This is a big treat for me!

The picture with both the Red/Black yarn a.k.a. Cardinal and the solid Black yarn a.k.a. Raven is Bernat Boa yarn. This yarn is eye lash novelty yarn and is a 100% silky polyester. The Black/White yarn a.k.a. "Night Club" is a chunky Bernat Bling Bling yarn. It is a discontinued yarn and can be found on the Bernat website. I myself decided to pick up the last yarn at Michaels. It is a discontinued yarn called Patons Pooch. The color is really a brown and tan and white and is called "Woolly". The yarn is made up of 63% acrylic, 27% wool and 10% nylon.

I had no clue the last one was acrylic and wool, but it shows how I always go for it, even when I have no idea. I have no clue what I will do with this yarn, but I know each one mixes well with others and typically can be made into scarfs, hats, gloves, accessories and toys. Hopefully I will be able to use it for Holiday gifts.
