Over the weekend I had a chance to do a little crochet for myself. A couple weeks ago I ordered some yarn from Michael's. Their brand is called Loops & Threads. I ordered the Impeccable and am really pleased with it. It is soft, easy to work with and comes in a variety of colors; both solids and ombres. You can find this 100% acrylic yarn here on their product page. It is on sale this week for $2.50 per skein!! You can't beat a deal like this!! This link is not an affiliate link, I am placing the link here for your convenience, so you can view or shop Michael's yarns at your leisure. When ordering on-line you must buy three (3) skein packages, they have an email service and are always sending % off coupons. You can even use the coupons on sale items; giving you an even better deal. I found them reasonably priced with prompt shipping. Here is the Cluster Shells Cowl I created in their Impeccable #4 weight yarn. The colorway I used is called "Stillness." ![]()
