I’m in the middle of two big projects right now, and it might be a while until I finished.  So, this week I thought I’d reach out to the crochet/knit/fiber community and ask, What is your favorite Summer yarn to work with?

I will answer first…

My favorite, without a doubt in my crammed little mind is Patons Grace.  This mercerized cotton often whips up like a thread yarn.  It is light weight, but when you create a fabric from it, it has wonderful drape.  I love to make jewelry with this yarn.  I wear my creations all year round, but they especially suit the warm weather.  Here are some examples:

I like big earrings.

I made this basket-weave cuff for a friend of mine.

I love making patches and appliqués.  I am giving away my secret, but mercerized cotton is the best for a project like this!

Now it’s your turn…

Please leave a comment and let me know what your favorite Summer yarn is!

Happy Crocheting!
