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.

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?
There is, video coming soon 🙂
I also would love a written pattern in crochet for an afghan in the Bee stitch. It’s beautiful.

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 🙂
