Who among us feels as I do about scrap yarn? No matter how little you have, you can't throw it away. Every little bit needs to be worked up into something! As a technical editor and designer, I use these small amounts to test and create designs, but even that doesn't always deplete my mini-ball stash. Let's use up those little darlings and benefit someone in need at the same time. Read the entire article in our August issue! |

As crocheters, when it comes to yarn, we've seen and tried it all. So, when something new comes along, we perk up with our crochet hooks at the ready! Caron recently partnered with Pantone to create an exciting curated collection of 20 color palettes based on Pantone colors inspired by gorgeous photos of nature and familiar subjects. Pantone is best known for its system of color identification, which is used widely in the print and textile industries and is the go-to source for designers and decorators. The soft acrylic/wool bulky-weight yarn comes in braids of five colors designed to work beautifully together in projects from hats to garments. With color palettes such as frozen berry, peacock blue, spicy blooms and strawberry chill, you'll have a hard time deciding which color range to try first.
