Crochetkari: Stash Saturday

Saturday 21 July 2012

Stash Saturday

I had promised to show you the yarn I had ordered. The yarn is called Laura Knitting cotton and is available in various colours.

So, here it comes:










Aren't the colours just gorgeous?! It does seem like a lot of yarn but as this yarn is not available in Ahmedabad, I thought of ordering a little more than required. The yarn was sent to me by "Pradhan Embroidery Stores" at Mumbai, and I must say that their service is very prompt. When I was in Mumbai I was a regular visitor to this store and I was very glad that they were willing to mail me the yarn at Ahmedabad.

Here is the whole stash ... so yummy, mwah.


Now to find a place to hide it before hubby sees it and feels dizzy.....ha ha.

The yarn is 100% cotton and quite thick. I am thinking of making bags and mandalas. Do you have any suggestions? I would love to hear them and get some new ideas.

Looking forward to your comments. I hope you have a Smashing Sunday.
Take care. Bye bye.
Lovexxx

    1. Hi Daisy, A 4mm hook will have a UK marking as 8, a Japanese marking as 7/0 and a US marking as G/6. Most of the time 4mm will also be marked on the hook. Hope this information was useful.
