The month of August is quickly coming to an end, which means there are only a few short days left to save on the monthly yarn sale: 25% off Preciosa! If you haven't worked with Preciosa before, it's such a lovely yarn to knit and crochet with. Not only is it extremely soft (it's Merino!), but the colors are just incredible. We've had a few cooler nights here in the Pacific Northwest, and I happily snuggled up under my Beginner Knit Blanket which I knit out of Preciosa. Bonus: there is a Crochet Beginner Blanket version too! |
