I recently purchased a blocking board and it ended up being a great addition to my crochet tools. I was managing okay without it but it definitely adds a level of convenience when I need to block my small projects.
Learn more about my new new blocking board and if it might be helpful to you and the type of you projects you make…
I have a fun product review to share with you today! WeCrochet have their Dots Crochet Hook Set back in stock, yay! I’ve had my eye on them in the past but always ended up missing out because they seem to sell out fast. When I saw them listed on the site, I placed an order because I really wanted to check them out. They’re fun and colourful, looked sturdy enough travel with in my project bag and had a few neat features that caught my attention.
Recently I saw on the WeCrochet Instagram account that they were offering Mystery Bags containing a stash of yarny goodness. I’m not typically one to purchase things like this because I don’t always enjoy what’s included and the idea of spending money on yarn and accessories that I might not use isn’t super appealing to me. However, one thing that did catch my attention was that WeCrochet was offering three different versions so I could choose a bag based on the yarn type which I thought was great. That way I know I’ll be getting yarn that I’ll have a good chance of using and both my money and the product won’t be wasted.
So….what mystery bag did I choose and what was inside? Continue reading below to find out…
Lion Brand Heartland was a wonderful find and a yarn that I quite enjoyed crocheting with. I was happy to discover that there is a great selection of colourways available that includes solids and tweeds. Today I’m sharing my review of working with Lion Brand Heartland yarn along with the details of the free pattern I designed using it.
Have you ever worked with tweed yarn? It’s a really fun fibre to crochet with, loaded with depth and texture that give your finished projects a beautiful, rustic and cozy appearance. Today I’m sharing my review of Brava Tweed (worsted) along with a fun pattern that you can use this yarn to make.
Have you ever bought yarn strictly based on the colourway? I think many of us have. I was browsing online (you’ll understand the rabbit hole of yarn shopping) and found Lion Brand Landscapes. It looked very beautiful and I immediately added some to my cart without knowing much about it. Sometimes the challenge of figuring out a plan after I bought the yarn can be kind of fun. I also thought it would be a great opportunity to add another yarn review to the blog so I could share my experience with others.
Stroll Tonal Mini Packs from WeCrochet was an item that caught my attention and was quickly added to my cart. Working with the incredible colours and having a challenge to create a project with one pack of mini skeins was a fun thought for me. I enjoy designing small projects and working with new yarns so this was definitely a win-win!
Today I’m sharing my review of Stroll Tonal Mini Packs. How it works up, what’s good about it and if you should consider adding it to your yarn stash. Read my review below…
Dishie cotton yarn has been a fairly recent discovery for me. A crochet friend uses it regularly and recommended it to me knowing I enjoy working with cotton yarn. I am so thankful she told me about it because I fell in love! I suppose that’s a pretty obvious giveaway as to what direction this yarn review is going!
If you haven’t worked with WeCrochet Dishie yarn yet, allow me to introduce you to it and share all the reasons why it’s been permanently added into my yarn stash. Read all about it below…
Red Heart Super Saver is a classic yarn that is popular amongst knitters and crocheters alike. With beautiful colours, competitive prices and being available in many major craft retailers, it’s a staple for many fibre artists. Recently, a new format was released called Red Heart Super Saver O’Go. It boasts ease of use without tangles or the hassles that traditional skeins can sometimes have. But does it actually work and is it practical?
I purchased two Super Saver O’Go’s in the “Christmas” colourway to find out and share with you what I learned. You can read about my experience and review below. Please note that I am not being paid for this review nor was I asked to write it. I simply enjoy trying new yarn!
Recently I placed my first order from WeCrochet. As someone who lives in Canada, there can sometimes be hesitation ordering from outside the country. Exchange rates, shipping time and duties can play a part in deterring placing an order to a company outside the country. However, I have heard great things from other maker friends about the products available which definitely swayed my interest in ordering. I also follow WeCrochet on Instagram and was always impressed with the beautiful yarns and colours that always seemed to be popping up. So, I decided to place an order…but was it worth it?
