YarnYAY! July Box #63

Here’s what’s included in the YarnYAY! July Box #63!

Dream in Color| Smooshy (Special YarnYAY! 50 gr hank)

This month we’re combining luxury with trend! Smooshy is the most delightful merino/nylon yarn. Combine its lovely drape with a dye technique perfect for assigned pooling, and you’ve got yourself a drool-worthy fiber experience.  We love the luminescent palette of our shade selection, Violet Fields, too!

Assigned Pooling Scarves/Shawlette Patterns | Designs by Vickie Howell & Gavriella Tremino

Assigned pooling, made popular by Dawn Barker, is the technique of “assigning” a particular stitch pattern to a designated color in a variegated yarn. Usually, that means a plainer stitch for the main shade in the yarn, and then a textural stitch for the secondary color. We’re playing with this method in both of this month’s projects! You’ll have enough yarn for the scarves. Shawlettes will require a wee bit more.

Seeds & Flowers, Assigned Pooling knit scarf by Vickie Howell

The knit scarf (by Vickie), Seeds & Flowers, is a heart-shaped piece worked in Stockinette Stitch, then texturally embellished with Reverse Stockinette and Floret stitches. The crochet scarf (by Gavriella), Sun & Grain is worked from tip-out, dabbling in eyelets and back loop stitches.

Using a classic method of establishing yarn weight, this handy-dandy tool can easily identify “mystery yarns” in your stash without the stress of hunting down original labels.

Lavender Sage Lotion | Avry Beauty

Calm and soothe your stitching hands with this vegan hand lotion in lavender sage. This light, aromatic, & earthy scent deeply nourishes dry skin.  Skin and yarn will both be happy about that!
