100% Tencel | Bzy Peach

Everything about this month’s featured yarn says. “summer vibes”. Dyer Bzy Peach has hand-dyed for us a silky smooth, DK-weight Tencel, in our exclusive color, Fruity Cocktail. You’ll feel tipsy with joy, stitching with this beautiful yarn!

Lacy Headband Patterns | designs by Vickie Howell & Designer in Residence, Natalie Thomas

This month’s projects are pool party-ready lacy headbands. The knit version, designed by Vickie, is worked in a lattice lace stitch, with a ribbed border. The crochet version, designed by Natalie Thomas, uses a combination of chain and shell stitches to create a climbing, almost flower-bud motif.

See more of Vickie’s designs on her personal website. Follow Natalie at @detroitknots

Yarn Sock | Slipped Stitch Studios

Harness that hank with a sleeve for your yarn. Made in this month’s fruity cocktail (or mocktail) print fabric, this handy tool will keep your slinky yarns snuggled instead of tangled!

Slipped Stitch Studios is based in Huntington Beach, California, and owned by Laura Lundy.

Kaftan accessory, anyone? YarnYAY! teamed up with Flax & Twine and Plaid Crafts to create a necklace kit that is mostly knit or crochet, but with an intro to macrame to finish it off. Make it, wear it, flaunt it.
