Michaels Collaboration
I was so excited to collaborate on a new crochet pattern with Michaels. Locally Michaels is our main craft store, and I’ve been purchasing yarn at their stores for years. I’ve always been a big fan of Loops & Threads. (cdn site)
Cozy Wool is one of my favourite bulky yarns. Loops & Threads Cozy Wool is perfect for warm cozy hats, blankets and scarves. The yarn makes for a soft, cozy, warm, quick stocking crochet pattern.
