✨Meet the Yarn✨

Meet the Crazy Zauberball- the yarn that does the colorwork for you!

Each skein of this fi*****ng weight yarn is made up of two individually dyed plies twisted together, creating bold color shifts, marked sections, and one-of-a-kind transitions as you knit and crochet. No two projects look exactly alike, and that’s the fun part!

We love this yarn for socks, shawls, lightweight accessories and any project where you want lots of color!

This week, we’re learning the Magic Ring!

If you’ve ever started a crochet project with a little hole in the center, the Magic Ring is about to become your best friend!

This technique creates and adjustable center that closes up completely, making it perfect for amigurumi, hats, granny squares, and any project that starts in the round.

It can feel a little tricky at first, but once you’ve got it, you’ll find yourself reaching for this technique again and again!

Magic Loop can feel a little awkward at first, but once it clicks, it’s a game changer for knitting socks, sleeves, toys, and decreasing hats!
