New Yarn (or at least new to me 😜) at Joann!! Come yarn shopping with me and see a few new yarns and find out the yarn sales for May 9-22, 2024 in the #joannfabric Yarn Department! 😄
A rug or basket with t-shirt yarn. But I would use some kind of rubber under the rug to help with rug; not slipping (rubber like used on cabinet shelving).
Oof. I’m on a break from buying yarn while trying to move but that Rave yarn… ahhh! I’m surprised you haven’t seen the Carousel before. I think the purple you found labeled subset is mislabeled. Early on when it first came out my store had what was clearly three different shades (I’m aware this type of yarn can look different from one skein to the next with that kind of color variation but this was extreme. I have photos somewhere) and I think they all claimed to be called sunset as well. So factory misprint or something but I DO like the yarn. I worked some up into a corner to corner scarf. Very cozy for that but entirely the wrong time of year now! And I’m so curious what you end up making with the tshirt yarn because I want some now too. No idea what I’d make but those colors are just gorgeous! I feel like I’ve seen some nice bags and baskets made with tshirt yarn? Dig around Ravelry perhaps? Been awhile since I’ve seen anyone produce tshirt yarn even. My next “I need a project because I love this yarn” is the Bernat Lattice yarn. I’ve got two skeins of the purple shade. Was thinking it might make an interesting summer top but I’m already working up two different tops- a tshirt with some clearanced out Lion Brand Soft & Simply and this 70s 3/4 sleeve top I found in Ravelry with the new Eddie Bauer cotton yarn. Have you seen that in your store yet? It’s 2 weight (but I’d say more like a 1 weight. I was at a fiber fair recently and bought a bunch of 1 weight yarns and some are thicker than this Eddie Bauer cotton) but I LOVE the super thin yarn and I’m pretty happy with the EB cotton so far. I am curious how it’s going to wash since it is such vibrantly colored cotton. I’m using the Violet color for my top but have a few skeins of the bright blue I haven’t decided what to do with yet too.
Hi Ginger. Thanks for taking us shopping w/you n Emmie. The rave yarn has lovely colors but how does it feel? I’ve the Lucky Brand bamboo yarn and it’s wonderful.
Business news!! They came out of restructuring in good safe so our favorite Kansas big box store is in NO danger of closing aside for some stores that were poorly run in the first place!
No reason or suggestions.... i have lots of fabric and my suggestion even for myself too many projests can become overwhelming so do give aways, mystery boxes, etc to work through your very largr stash and only go and buy what you need not find more projects😢 See all you have for yarn first then think about using up some of what you have and give away what you dont like to have more space to grow.... ugggh self control with crafts can be challenging yet so good as you can focus on using what you currently have and to free up the money for saving for future project material then byying right now
