The "Lisa Ann Cowl And Ear Warmer Set" And A "Chic Sheep Yarn" Review | Posh Pooch Designs

The "Lisa Ann Cowl And Ear Warmer Set"

And A

"Chic Sheep Yarn By Marly Bird" Review

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

Red Heart Yarns just sent me a package of their Brand
New Yarn, Chic Sheep Yarn By Marly Bird.

I was so excited when I opened up the package.

Now Put aside everything you have ever thought about

scratchy, itchy, fuzzy and stiff Real Wool Yarn.

This yarn is the Very Opposite of that.

The Yarn is the softest Moreno Wool you will ever
stitch with, whether you crochet or knit.

You will absolutely love this yarn.
It is soft and smooth. It has a soft shimmer to it and
it slides wonderfully across my crochet hook.

It comes in 24 amazing colors.

Look at Them out Here: Chic Sheep Yarn By Marly Bird

All The colors a bright, vibrant and blend with
each other perfectly.

Live Video - What's Your Favorite Yarn Color | Posh Pooch Designs

Live With Sara of

Posh Pooch Designs

I received an very nice email from a young girl who is 9 years old,
and has been crocheting for about a year.
I am always happy to hear about children learning to crochet.

She asked me 3 Questions:
1. What is my Favorite Color?

I Love Bright yellow because it is a happy color, full of sunshine and makes me feel warm.

2. What is your Favorite color of Yarn to work with?

I enjoy working with blue yarn, light to medium shades because I think you can really see the stitches and textures well.

3. What is your least Favorite color of Yarn to work with?

I really dislike working with black yarn by itself because it is so very hard to see and find your stitches. Now pair it with a bright green pink, yellow or white and then it is really lovely.
4. What's Your Favorite Brand of Yarn?

Red Heart yarns, Of Course!

Then I received this Question, and I really had to think a bout it.

"Which Comes First, The Crochet Pattern or the Yarn?

And Answer is Yes.
Sometimes the Yarn comes first. I am just walking along a new yarn, or color jumps out at me and them I buy some. I save it for just the right pattern.

But them sometimes, I have a pattern or design in mind, and I go looking fir the perfect yarn.
