I just did some revamping of my yarn storage and updated my inventory. I have put myself on a yarn diet (said as I wait for one last order to arrive ) I wish I had more room but my space is limited. Hope you and yours have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! ❄☃🎄🎀

Oh Rosey, that’s wonderful, I love to start the new year in order with yarn and WIPs too. Wish that I could see your new haul 🤩🤩. Merry Christmas to you and your family 😁❤️🎁✨🎄

Merry Christmas 🎅🏼🎄 your temperature blanket looks amazing. I love the greys and purple together, although purple is my favourite colour 😄 looking forward to your plans for 2025 🎉

Thank you so much Dawn, I’m pretty excited for the new years crochet activities too 😁😁🎄🎁❤️✨

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jill! I'm really looking forward to making the temperature. I just don't know where to start on my color chart and how much yarn to buy. 😮😂

[@gumleaf_crochet_and_yarn]

Thankyou so kindly Sandra 🎄🎄✨✨. Ok, choose your favourite acrylic yarn for starters, then pick your favourite colour, go to Pinterest and search “colourways” “colour pegs” or “yarn colours” including your favourite colour in the search. You could choose 2 colours and just get other shades of those 2 colours, jura so you can work them from highest to lowest temps, don’t be too hard on yourself. Just choose the colours that make you smile, ok 😁😁👍🏼👍🏼 I hope that helps you somewhat 🙏🏼🙏🏼💖💖

[@gumleaf_crochet_and_yarn]

Sandra, you can copy my greens and blues is you like, or go onto Instagram just scroll through accounts and look at the colours people use. Look at @sara956 & @krafty_kris, they both have lots of colour to see 😁😁😁

[@sandrahendrickx]

Thank you so much! That really helps. ❤

[@sandrahendrickx]

​@gumleaf_crochet_and_yarn I've bought my yarn. It's called Chunky Monkey by Scheepjes. I love this yarn! I want my blanket to be pretty large and a bit bulky. The winters can be pretty cold here. Thanks again, Jill.

I didn’t like the Yarnsmith yarn as much as the Stylecraft and Fiddlesticks.

[@gumleaf_crochet_and_yarn]

I’ve yet to do my Yarnsmiths taste test 😆😁. I do really love the Stylecraft & Paintbox yarn, it’s sooooo much nicer than the acrylic yarn our big store Spotlight sells 🧶🧶
