I feel so honored to be chosen by Michael’s to tell you about their new yarn line! Because they are such a great company I didn’t have to think twice about saying YES!
And I was even more thrilled when the yarn came for me to play with. They also know I have both knit and crochet fans so I get to show you projects in both crafts and everyone wins!
Here is my first FREE pattern as part of a 5 month campaign to bring you Loops & Threads Colorwheel awesomeness.
Want to know if your local store is one of the 800 U.S. or Canada stores carrying Colorwheel yarn?
CLICK HERE to go to the store locator and give your local store a call.
Here is what I LOVE about this yarn:
- It’s Soft! For real! I think sometimes I hear acrylic and I think scratchy but Colorwheel will not disappoint!
- 54 Color Choices!! I mean WOW! They can be combined to do gradient work or little pops of color here and there.
- #4 worsted weight yarn
- 90 yards/1.75 oz/50 grams
- Machine wash/tumble dry low
- 100% anti-pilling
- $1.99/skein which is an amazing price point! No more spending a fortune because you want lots of colors for fun projects!

Is there a way to do the crochet Bee stitch flat for a blanket or scarf?

If working in rows instead of rounds, do you just ch 1 and start immediately into the Bee Stitch?
I will be releasing a blanket pattern that will show how to do this stitch in rows 🙂
