Makes Me Smile

Still have no idea what I am going to use it for but that is okay bc it is just pretty sitting there too. This is my second one I have gotten. This is the second one I have ordered and this one did have a chunk of bark or something twisted in. I pulled it out. Still love it. Will probably continue getting them with orders and one day have enough for a backpack/bag. I don't find it to be the softest so nothing around my neck will be made from this yarn. This yarn's texture and colors make me smile.

Hi Eleanor!We hope you can use it in other crafting ideas but we know eventually there will be a good project you can use it to:hearts: -Claudia

This is by far my

This is by far my favorite DGY fiber to knit with. The colors blend beautifully and it just gets softer with wear.

Yay! Awesome.Thank you, Susie!:hearts: -Claudia

Love the colors!

Each one was slightly different. As I am using this alternating with DGY's chiffon ribbon, I can easily alternate which ball I use. Or just use one or two balls, depending on the exact project.
